[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 358012, member: 3907"] MWM, I just wanted to weigh in a bit about jobs in the computer field. I have worked in Information Technology pretty-much since I entered the workforce, and it is a very Aspie-friendly environment. In my current job, I am part of a large department and I would guess that about 50% of the staff are on the spectrum somewhere. There are lots of "unknown" jobs in IT: process design, technical writing, facilities management, logistics, etc. etc. And iffy social skills don't seem to be a barrier to success, the way they are in other fields that seem to require a more sociable atmosphere. There is also a lot of informal supervision in the form of mentoring, cross-training, backup workers and such. Trinity [/QUOTE]
