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.
Cool! So many engineers here.
Now I'm interested in seeing the results of a survey of forum members covering employment, likes & dislikes and hobbies. There are certainly many engineers, and many motorcyclists, plus a few musicians, nurses, teachers..........I'm getting a hunger to see the data and analyse it! How do those stats on this forum stack up against the general population I wonder?
