Thank you so much for the reply, that's very helpful!

How does one get into the field of wildlife/textbook illustration? Do you need a certain level of credentials or formal education, or is it all about a portfolio?

You say 'illustrator' and people often think children's books, and advice is geared that way, I haven't been able to find much in this area. Basically: how do you go about making this your job?

Hello,

Do you think with a condition like Asperger's getting officially diagnosed by a professional serves a necessary purpose? Or is there value in not wanting to know for sure?

It seems like a no brainer: go, get it confirmed, carry on. But I also think of people who may have a hereditary disease, like Huntington's, that may not want to be burdened with the knowledge of a diagnosis. In your opinion, is this a valid stance to take, or does it just put an obstacle between a person and acceptance of their condition?
