When we took him to RH for the summer program, I talked to one of the professors about him and she simply waved off the fact he has had autism (possibly Aspergers is more appropriate). She said they've very accustomed to it there and it would be getting more common in the future. He did very well and got along great. They knew him so when he was accepted there they probably felt he has a good degree of probability of success. I don't see why not.
diagnosed as autistic
Most of the geek patrols in engineering schools of any types have their share of what is now called Aspbergers but was once called ‘Pocketprotector Syndrome”
