School

Sperbergers tend to do really well in school because we thrive in situations where goals and progress are quantifiable and distinctly measured. Also, school breaks the day up into periods where you take on the same subject at the same time every day - a perfect scheduling structure in which the Sperberger mind can succeed more readily.

However, once we're out of school, things aren't so nicely formatted for us. Once way to get a little practice for that radical change of pace is to take a few courses in liberal arts-type classes (Literature, Art, etc.) where measurement of progress is more subjective. The idea is to learn your way around inside less structured environment, as well as to exercize different parts of the brain that multiple-choice tests don't affect.
