    Aspies, do you work?

    I am an IT branch chief at a government agency. Very difficult for me due to the breadth of responsibilities. I’m wired for narrow focus deep diving skills like programming. Looking forward to retirement. I’m tired.

    I suspect my mum is Aspie, but I still don't want contact!
