What do you mean by "a normal life"? There are so many successful people in the world who have Asperger's. Many people believe that Bill Gates is just one of thousands of computer geniuses who have Asperger's. People have a tendency to think that everyone should fit certain standards and that no one could be successful or happy if they don't. Does Bill Gates have "a normal life?" I would argue that he does not. He has achieved far more success in business than any normal human being, and he has earned more money than most normal people could ever dream of. He and his wife have developed an incredible philanthropic organization to fund solutions to problems in health and education around the world. Most of us "normal" people are lagging way behind!
And on the other hand, Bill Gates seems to have a "normal" family life (except for the fact that they are super-rich) - he has a wife and kids, and even though he is one of the richest men in the world, he still has an unflattering haircut.
Anyway, you can have a satisfying and wonderful life even if you have Asperger's.

Live YOUR life. Your life maybe different from others, you may have talents others don'e and needs that others don't. Don't strive to be "normal," instead seek out the support you need and choose to live a full and positive life. Your faith and the people and ideas you care about can help you stay on track.
I'm assuming you've gotten plenty of info from psychiatrists and educators over the years -- if not seek out advise and help from professionals. With professional help and occaisional counseling you can have a full and exciting life, you will learn the skills you need to negotiate the social, emotional, and intellectual challenges of higher education. Keep your family and support systems in your life to help you balance life and study and keep a positive and healthy perpsective on life.
Get a counsellor at your community college to meet with you and talk about your options and visit the private school and have a conversation with their counselors. Give yourself some time to talk this over with trusted friends and make your best decision. You will be right sometimes and wrong sometimes just like the rest of us!

Yes you can lead a very normal life with Aspberger's
I have Aspbergers and play sports, and plan on becoming a violinist, pianist and composer when I grow up, and intend to go to Juilliard School of Performing Arts for college.
Aspbergers is nothing more than a mild social condition, that substitutes having awesome social skills for having fantastic skills in other things.

yes you can have a normal life.
my mom has asbergers. she is in the process of raising 4 kids. she was accepted into Julliard (she declined)
during her single days she was one of the most sought after women in her church.
she really does have asbergers, she didn't know it until her 30's.
in school she had troubles making friends, then in highschool she read a book about a girl trying to get a boyfriend by being more friendly. She applied what the girl learned in the book to her own life, and she found herself with a lot more friends.
ps. Albert einstein had asbergers and so does BIll Gates!!

I have no doubt of it ...and if u do face challenges, chances are, they won't be about u, they will be about lack of education in the community.
If u need any specific advice or support, please let me know ...I have a degree in Habilitation, which essentially means that I have a piece of paper that says I know stuff ...my qualifications and work involve assisting people who experience additional hurdles to get the most from their lives and help their families, friends and community to understand each other and work together.
Good luck and please feel free to contact me.
Kate :)

Yes but depending on certain criteria,you may need support from minimal to full,i know of some who lives on their own with own place and live as normal as they can,main problem is always the budget,to know how to save and not overspend is one huge step to independance.

Yes. I have taught many children with asberger's. They are very intelligent and with a little help in social skills, they have done very well. Best wishes.
