Regenesis - very cool.

No shit though, aspergers is like autism - you have people with varying degrees of it.

If they're looking at your resume and going,'Oh dear, he has an illness...well...we can't hire him', I'd say that they're discriminating against you (grammar?). It's like saying that a person without the use of their legs can't type 42 or more wpm's! (at least that's how I'm seeing it)

Kudos to you if you actually have control of your aspergers to the point where you do a piece of work and do it really well!

Apart from autism (which I see everyday here at work), I've only really seen/known of one other person with aspergers - and he was a computer nut.
Downside to that? He was even MORE reclusive than usual, and was EXTREMELY fixated on particular computery type things. To the point where when he went to a LAN (*cough* Valhalla *cough*), he'd get paid out. Mostly it was ignorance on the part of the people who would do it, but I still think it's not the way you should treat people like that...

ANY-WAAAAY, rant over.

Good luck finding work dude. Incidentally, I'm the same with tv shows. ::P

Aspergers is on the autistic spectrum so it's not like autism.
It is autism.

It's ok. :-)

My son & I were originally diagnosed with Asperger's but are both HFA(high functioning autism).
I run into people that will swear black & blue that Asperger's isn't autism but I have it on the best authority that Asperger's is actually outdated & should be discarded along with a few other terms for 'not classically autistic' such as PDD/NOS & even childhood schitzophrenia.

Can you tell that autism is a perseveration of mine? ;-)

Yuppers - checked it out - it's part of the spectrum. My bad.
Being around autistic kids all day, but being a tech person, I hear lots of things but don't go out of my to find out.
Thanks for the push to do just that :)
