Is someone with aspergers syndrome better to work in finance or information technology

Is someone with aspergers syndrome better to work in finance or information technology?
I am 17 years old, have just finished a computing and information technology course at college. I initially wanted to do a business but let my ego get the better of me and did IT. I must say I have a very strong interest in the internet and in stocks and shares. What should I do if I don't like the business and finance related course? Should I just do IT and get a career in IT, or what? What is the best career choice for someone like me with asperger syndrome?

It depends on what you want to do. You can do anything that you want to do. IT sounds good. You will have to take whatever courses that are required for the degree program that you want but just pass business and finance....you can choose a job that does not directly involve this.

Either actually sound very suitable in terms of classic aspergers. Although i would find out how much use you would be in IT as many computers can almost self-fix and self write in terms of the need for attention to detail while accounting and that is specifically methodical and rigouros, i'd train with the inland revenu myself, you could be an exorcet missile!

It depends on which you feel you are comfortable/happy. I don't think having asperger's has much to do with it.

dude it all depends on what you want to do. do which ever you like better. you could always try one out and if you don't like it you could always go for the other thing. it doesn't matter if you have asperger's it matters what your best in :) at least you have an idea of what you want to do I am 17 and am not quite sure of what I would want to go into. Just go for what your heart tells you and do what you would enjoy the most :)

There are over half a million people in the UK with AS - that's around 1 in 100. People with Asperger syndrome come from all nationalities, cultures, social backgrounds and religions. However, the condition appears to be more common in males than females.

well the good thing about aspergers as far as i know. if you are interested in something you will learn it pretty fast but a lot of people with aspergers have problems being social so i would say that is your only problem.
