My entire career was based on my Aspergers - I went into engineering and my Eidetic Memory meant I could memorise everything instantly - like the part numbers for 5500 items in the stores or all the parts lists for all the products. My memory meant I could learn all circuit diagrams so I 'knew' everything and could fix everything. I memorised all the operating procedures and paperwork systems,. This made me look very effective from day one. (Think 'Neo - I know Kung Foo" or STNG Mr Data).
My interest in all tech meant I understood how everything worked so I could design very simple, cost effective solutions in a tiny fraction of the time all the others took to do inferior projects. All my stuff just worked - and stayed working.
Unfortunately, others began to rely on my abilities to save the day - which meant others could get away with slacking off - which loaded more stress onto me. That's usually the indication that's it's time for me to move jobs.
