>I don’t see how you are able to do this with autism.
A lot of time spent learning software development and being fucking amazing at it.
>Where are you? Are you a consultant or something?
US. Several hats.

> Several hats.
Elaborate. I just wanted to know if you were a freelancer/consultant/self-employed, full-time employee somewhere, full-time contractor somewhere, or what.
I meant where in the US as maybe it’s a regional thing in which case I should move. Autistic discrimination in/around NYC is severe — we poached someone from Google once and multiple VPs started gunning to fire him as soon as he mentioned having autism, specifically because of the diagnosis.

99% of IT and software roles are remote these days. Just look for remote stuff. You still have to pass the interview process, and you'll fail a bunch, because that's a skill in itself, but you can land well-paying software development and IT positions remotely. You don't want to use autism as some cop-out for failure, if you ever tell them it should only be after proving your worth - prior it just seems like you're trying to set yourself up to be able to sue for wrongful termination, because there's plenty of shitbags out there who do exactly that.

Aspberger's, not autistic, but if I'm not answering a direct question there's a reason for it.
