Eva, Steven, Scott and Benjamin - thank you for your comments.
Eva - thankyou, i will do my best.
Steven - I am glad you feel inspired to keep going. Things will always get better if you keep pushing towards your goals and dont give up!
Scott - I think it is great how you feel, while the diagnosis of aspergers/autism can be very frightening or daunting, it does not meen we cannot achive - our goals may be differnat, or we may take differant routes, and there is nothing wrong with that. i wish you, your wife and your son the very best of luck
Benjamin - I am glad you feel driven to push yourself hard, it is a great feeling when you have pushed hard and acheved. Just be careful not to make the mistake i have made a few times and push yourself too hard and get "Burn Out", but you sound like someone who knows his limits. Best of luck - i am sure you will get to become a charterd accountant, as you sound really determined.
All the best
Josh

Hi Josh,
I am a 4th year pupil of Ayr Academy in Scotland,I saw your biography on Television and it really inspired me to achieve what i want to become which is a chartered accountant.
I thought that if you can put pressure on yourself like that and succeed in getting what you dreamed of then i thought so can i and i am now working hard to achieve my goals in life and i wish to thank-you for this and i wish you the best of luck in your up and coming year in your new University.
Yours Sincerely
Benjamin Rowe
