I'm quite curious what kind of work do people here do? I've seen from some comments in other threads that there are social workers and teachers out there. The stereotypical autism job is computer programmer, which I think is really cool and requires lots of talent. There are also students on this forum (I'd be interested to know what you're studying).
Also, what jobs do you think are well-suited for the autistic personality?
Broadly I am a Systems Engineer (computers, electrics, electronics, mechanical, hydraulics, Pneumatics) with a hobby/background in Personal Computers since the early 1980's.
I can visualise across Automotive, military, naval, space, aviation and home automation and provide excellent analogies to get those less technical to understand.
I am also CEng :) but in civil engineering (concrete ftw!) I manage a team of design engineers (bridges, roads and drainage)
