Answer 1

If you want to be a doctor than you should go for it.  Your suitability for medical school could be a factor with Aspergers - it is going to depend on how severe or mild it is.  My sister is in medical school and one of her classmates has aspergers - his social skills aren't great but he is very smart and hard working.  He has decided to go into a field that has more limited interactions with patients but is still very important and fulfilling- he is thinking of anesthesia or radiology.  

You will need to go to college and major in a science - you want to get very very high grades (majority of As).  

But you have a while before you have to make the decision whether or not to go to medical school.  Definately go to college - see how you like the science classes - is it something that you understand, enjoy, and then figure it out from there.  If you are unsure about what you want to be - explore different fields.

My daddy always said don't let no one tell you that you can't achieve your dreams.  I don't see why you could not be a doctor if you studied, and passed all of your exams.  There are LOTS of people with debilitating disease and handicaps that have become very prestigious doctors, nurses, teachers, musicians, comedians, politicians.. I say, go for your highest dream.  If you don't try, you will never know.  If you fail, what have you lost? Nothing, you have still gained much education and other knowledge.  Don't let anyone tell you that you can't be a doctor....
