Re: Aspie culture and Aspie candor: Hope or hokum?

Theoretically, networking among Aspies would be free of trivial
obstacles that frustrate Aspies in NT (NeuroTypical) systems.

That being said, I've found Aspies to be as frustrating as any and
as willing to block attempts to network if that network does not
suit their own interests.

Maybe Aspies are doomed to be solitary souls seeking solace in
suitable occupations. Work was a real comfort to me. Not the
social aspect of work that leads to advancement, but the task
that demands concentration others find daunting. That task was
a joy to me for my entire career in a field that fits Aspie traits well
- publishing, editing, typesetting. What occupations fit Aspies?
