Aspergers people adding value to business?
I wrote an article some time ago and published it on LinkedIn. It asks the question: "Do people with Aspergers (ASD) have a place in business?"
I wrote it mainly out of personal frustration of working for and with people who do not / did not understand the social issues a person on the spectrum can face (and make the neurotypical person 'feel' bad in the process). Typically, the actual work was overlooked in favour of pointing out socially unacceptable communications.
I remember watching the programme "Lie to me" a while back and thinking, yep, that's how I am. My wife told me this is why I land myself in hot water!
So, if this article helps anyone and can be understood from a neurotypical perspective too, I am happy to help!

I agree NAS23891. I am a manager of an analytical team. My team are aware of my ASD, and see it as an asset, and often ask me questions about it. I also enjoyed watching 'Lie to me', though I think the way Tim Roth's character behaves is more down to the fact he can see the way people lie to each other all the time, and his war experiences than an ASD
