My son is dx’d with Asperger’s … He goes to a special needs school and is bright and very high functioning … He’s in 10th grade now. He really loves his music and mixes and produces his own stuff and has a network online – facebook, soundcloud, youtube that seems to appreciate his work … I suggested that Music or Sound Engineering might be a cool way to take something he loves and make a living at it and he’s open to that … I’m wondering what schools you think would work for him and offer this type of a major? This is all new to us. We’re in NYC and I’m not 100% sold on the idea of him going away right away but figured we’d still look at options. Thanks for your help!
SUNY Purchase has studio production and isn’t too far- Metro North to White Plains and then I believe the school has a bus from there. Adelphi U. on Long Island has a program for those on the spectrum called Bridges, it might be worth checking to see if any of their degrees is a good fit.
