Tell your teachers, you should have mentioned it on your enrolling form at some point but make sure you tell your teachers when you start your classes too.
If you're doing sciences or something like that you'll probably have to sign something that says you've understood safety procedure etc. write it on that too. I had a heart and lung problem but even though I put it on the official forms my teachers had no idea until I told them.
Some support should be given if you want/need it, if they don't mention it then ask for it. If you're worried about what others think about you syndrome then don't worry. People from loads of different backgrounds etc come from all over to go to one college.
They're full of different, unique people and that's the fun part of college. People go to college because they want to be there so the time wasters who get their fun by making fun of other people wont be there.
Hope you have fun at college!

Don't worry.
The Teachers/Lecturers will be told in advance what to expect from people with your Syndrome.
A few years ago there was a Teenager on one of the part time courses I was doing, he had a form of Autism. The College has got a team of staff who are there to support students in various ways. He had one who would sit with him in the classroom and go slowly through the work with him, while the Teacher dealt with the rest of the class.
The class was made up of 16/17/18 year olds, plus a 30 year old (me). It did them good to come into close contact with someone who was 'different' to them.

I've just read up about the condition. You shouldn't worry because the description I got from wikipedia suggests that you may be a very clever person. So you can be quite popular by helping out other students when they are stuck with their coursework. I think that's a big plus point!!! You should always use your disadvantages to your advantage and see the good in every bad situation.

Aspergers could also mean physical disability (for those of you who think its a "whatever it is disease") posing many difficulties but take heart in knowing that all the schools that I know of have a disability department, and depending on your disability, they will help you with your study needs, your course load, relevant equipment (eg laptop, recorder), software and if necessary a ASL translator and/or note taker. Dont fear they will accommodate you as much as they can...just make sure you bring all your limitations to their attention in good time

I hope it's not a very large impersonal college. Still, talk to the Student Sevices, so you get assistance. As for the other students, know that everyone is terrified for some reason, because it's their first time in college too.

Do not worry, you will have all the student you will need whilst at college. I have student support and it helps a lot. I have a note taker, and a support worker with me in the lessons which helps a lot as I tend to miss information.
The college will be aware of your special needs and all this will be inplace when you start.
Good luck.

your teachers should be given all the information they need, so I don't know what the problem is.
I am a teacher, and the school I was at had a special unit for Autistic and Asperger's students and they were all very well cared for.
all the best for Sept.

whatever that syndrome is, dont worry! I swr no one will notice in college cuz everyone is always cramming for exams and midterms. Relax, be happy, college is sooo muh funner than high school. Dont worry!!!
Oh and if you ever need anything the disabled student office will provide you with everything, I swr they will totally cater to you and your professors will too!

If you explain to people about your syndrome I am sure they will accept you for what you are. Good luck at college

Give your teacher all the info you can, ask him/her to explain a bit to your tutor group members and try to laugh rather than be embarrassed.
