What Do You Want To Be When You Grow Up?

Einstein
Everyone has been asked at one point or another in their lives what they want to be when they grow up. It is instilled in each child that there are no limits to the way this question can be answered; In today’s world anyone can grow into anything. This idea can often be interrupted for individuals with disabilities. With few public role models for children or adults with disabilities sometimes the answer to that childhood question doesn’t offer the opportunity to dream like it should. Hopefully with a little bit of inspiration the idea of a disability limiting one’s ability to become anything they want to will be a thing of the past.
Here, ( http://www.disabled-world.com/artman/publish/article_2086.shtml ) you will find a list of inventors, artists, philosophers, actors, singers, politicians, scientists, and more who have had great influence over the world we live in today. Not everyone on the list has been diagnosed with Asperger’s but based on the history of their lives many feel that they would have been.
After you finish reading up on all the amazing people in the world with Asperger’s try answering again….What do you want to be when you grow up?
