    Do you play video games?

    When I get a chance, I like to play Overwatch. I usually play PUBG with my best friend when he is on.

    How fast can you type?

    Above 100 wpm on average. I've been typing for as long as I know. When I was a teenager, I frequently used MSN to chat with thousands of people and forums. I got real fast at cranking out papers for school.

    The internal struggles of a young guy with high functioning autism

    I've had multiple love interests and two relationships. My first relationship lasted a few months and the relationship that came after that is still going on to this day. It's a lot easier to get someone to fall in love with you online than it is in person. It was very difficult for me when I...

    Where did you graduate and what was your major?

    I have a Bsc. in Mathematics (Applied Mathematics and Statistics) from Cal Poly Pomona. I currently work as a systems engineer. Right after college I took an internship in the IT field and got promoted out of that a couple months in to Software Technician. I got promoted last December. I've...

    What is your job?

    I'm a software technician. I basically fix bugs in software or corrupt healthcare/financial data 40 hours a week. Recently, an addition to that has been to do development work to add functionality to our application. I interviewed for a systems developer job and am fairly certain I got it. So...

    Initiating Conversation, Hating Small Talk, & Taking Interest In Others

    I had been in a friend rut for a long time. Honestly, I only recently made a friend at work about three months ago, which is sad. I've been working there for just a bit over two years now. I've mostly kept to myself since I started working there. We began to chat over work related stuff and...

    Aspergers substitute for College degree?

    I wouldn't say that I've had any coworkers that were aspies that I knew about. As an aspie myself, I've never disclosed this to an employer before and tried very hard to keep it under wraps with going to college and all. College was a nightmare for me, but I made it through with a degree in...

    Trying to figure out a job or small business I could do Please help

    You know the easiest thing to do is learn how to code. There are more websites than ever putting out that kind of content and if you get good at it, it's very possible to command a decent salary and work from home. Also, a lot of the time, if you do have to work in an office, you are pretty...

    Turned down again

    Dunno about the economy as I've stopped following it completely since I stopped being a trader, but I think it depends what kind of work you want to do. For instance, computer programming I think is a great choice for an aspie. 9-5 job, only have to attend a meeting every two weeks but...

    Never work at Wally World

    I've never passed the personality test. So, I could not work at Wal-Mart. Fortunately, I don't need a job there. I did want a job there between 2007-2009.

    Your first job

    If you count paid intern as a job, then a systems developer intern is what my first job was. If you count unpaid internships, then I was an investment management intern. My first salaried job is a software technician (or associate systems developer). I basically sit in a cubicle and code for...
