What do you think of this company?Aspiritech - About Us They specifically hire persons with aspergers to test stuff for software organizations.
But some things makes me uneasy. It seems to further stereotypes ("people with aspergers are all computer nerds" ) And, is it another form of discrimination to not hire someone because he's NT? Also, the testers are required to have aspergers, but the managers are required to be neurotypicals. http://www.aspiritech.org/services/(Apparently we're to disabled to be in leadership)
Don't get me wrong; if they hired me I'd be glad to accept, because I really need a job!! And I know that I lost my prior jobs because of my aspergers, which I did not know I had. I was actually really really good at the last job, but some people really disliked me. As a result of that experience, I know that my AS does not limit me to stereotypical aspie fields, but it is important for people to accept me.
