Is it possible for a person with Aspergers to be a Middle School teacher?
Favorite Answer
If you have since exited HS, seek the guidance of a college counselor (in your area) for assistance.
In the meantime, since you are old enough to be employed, have you thought about working as a paraeducator in a middle school to see how you would like it?
There is no reason why you would not be unable to become a teacher! Good luck to you!
Also, there is a teacher here that also has Down’ syndrome, and you know what? she is a middle school Special Ed teacher, and she is the ONLY teacher in our district that is nationally certified to teach anywhere in the US she pleases!
As far as college goes, under the IDEA act, no school can turn you away because of your disability. Whatever school you choose has to accommodate for you.
I wish you the best of luck! I love teaching, and someone like you would be a good role model for other children that have disabilities!
There are many accomplished people with Aspergers.I think you may bring to a teaching situation, a perspective that a “typical” person can not.Good Luck!
I don’t believe anything should hold you back from your dreams! You might have to work harder then the others, but do it and be proud!!
Good luck!!
