They'd probably make good investigative journalists too.I wonder if people with high functioning autism and aspergers would make good detectives.🕵🕵

I don't think it really works like that, but companies do search for posts by existing employees so if you don't want to disclose your autism it's best to try and retain a high level of anonymity on the net.Are you saying that companies read our post on forums like this and try to select employees in this way?
That's very true for me too, I'm no programmer by a long shot but I'm good at finding and fixing errors in other people's work.For me it's patterns. Everything breaks down into various patterns for me. I can scan docs, realize the pattern is off, and then look more deeply. I do have the intense focus to the point where I can unnerve others when I'm in my zone.

I think Misty was simply making the point that we have been saddled with a stereotype of being tech-nerds.If this thread has nothing of relevance for you why do you keep coming back?
LOL...."guilty as charged".That's very true for me too, I'm no programmer by a long shot but I'm good at finding and fixing errors in other people's work.
I tried it, but it quickly became apparent that if you have a defective memory, like mine, it would be futile to persist.Yet I honestly never considered myself an actual programmer...
People will pay for this skill if they can find you before others do. Time To read the email.For me it's patterns. Everything breaks down into various patterns for me.

Even when it worked for me, at times I felt like a fraud.I tried it, but it quickly became apparent that if you have a defective memory, like mine, it would be futile to persist.
I gave up trying quick smart.
It's all good Ronald.I hope I did not open too big a can of worms.
For me it was always more pattern recognition than anything else. Even in strings of code I didn't really understand my eye would get drawn to syntax errors. I'm the same with written language, yet I make an unbelievable amount of errors in my own writing all the time.I could not program either, even with a very logical mind good at math.
I'm faceblind to a large degree, very poor facial recognition, but I was always very good with body language even from a distance.Based on my hyperphantasia I should be a visual artist, and face blind, horrible at math, Even as an Aspie I can do stuff I should not be able too. like read body language.
