  • You might usefully get some ideas from Tania Marshall's list of Aspienwomen characteristics:

    Moving towards an adult female profile of Autism/Asperger Syndrome

    "3.  Career/Work

    Often drawn to the helping, artistic or animal professions, and often an “expert” in her chosen field. I know of many Aspienwomen who are successful in the following careers: Artists, singers, actors, poets, writers, teachers, psychologists, psychiatrists, special needs teachers/consultants, horse trainers/whisperers, doctors, scientists, accountants, authors, childcare workers, models, comedians, artists, computer-related specialists, animal handlers or zoo keepers, university professors, nurses, psychics/mediums, entrepreneurs and photographers.

    May miss days of work due to social exhaustion

    May find great difficulty attending/participating in staff meetings, lunch breaks, work social events

    May make up excuses for not attending work/staff functions

    May have a history of being unable to cope with work/employment environments, often moving from job to job, especially in younger adult years

    Hard-working conscientious worker

    May get stressed if have a lot of work to do in a short amount of time

    May become frustrated/stressed if asked to do too many things at once

    Tries very hard to avoid making mistakes, forgetting things

    Tries hard to please others

    May burn bridges (for e.g., walk out or quit jobs or relationships without notice)"
