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!

Thanks for that! I'm exactly like that but most of those things have been seen as bad, even the getting stuff done thing. Should try to convince myself that in another place there is a chance that some of these things will be seen as positive and be a bit more optimistic about it...
