I work in the software industry (aka IT). I imagine a lot of software people are on the spectrum, especially where I live (near Silicon Valley). By the way, I can't see how a diagnosis would endanger future employment prospects. The only thing that will endanger future employment prospects is simply growing older. As, unfortunately, ageism is a fact of life in this industry.
I've seen it happen to another Aspie coworker where their promotion prospects were removed after the ASD diagnosis under the guise of "increased Security Clearance risk"...which seems to me just a case of "Ignorant NT" thinking.
