What career would I go into if I want to deal with autism to find different methods to help people with autism?

I am trying to find out what career choice would lead me to research autism and find methods to help people with autism.

Since Autism is a Neurological disorder, you may consider Neurology. You can always focus your field after you graduate.

I think you should search for Jenny McCarthys web site since she is an expert on this now.. and would have a lot of infoOtherwise, mental health research in the medical protocol is biological , chemistry research and there are various areas available.. all of which you would need a PHD in biochemistry, an MD, etc to do the actual research... start finding out the info you need to make a good career choice.... just start asking the right people, places... talk to a school counselor

A special education teacher, or a psychiatric nurse.
