That "Hitler was aspie meme" is kinda old here on WP.
Even in the unlikely event that he was aspie his aspieness was the least of his issues. His sociopathy was higher on the pecking order of his relevant traits. And sociopathy and aspergers are kinda contradictory conditions. Sociopaths are skilled at manipulation while aspies are socially inept.

I congratulate the OP on having a job. Five years of hell...and you emerged with a job!
Administrative Assistant is a very difficult job for an Aspie. I would have trouble with it. I'm fortunate I've been able to get jobs with relatively minimal public contact (though now, I work at the circulation desk at a library where I have to take care of clients).
Also: are you a woman? Then, I shouldn't have called you Sir LOL.....But that doesn't really matter. You're human.

Was Hitler "afraid" of becoming Hitler? I suspect Hitler was proud of becoming Hitler, just as other people like him are.
I'm very skeptical that Hitler was anything like an aspie -- I'd suspect he was almost the opposite.
That being said, there are a number of people here on WP who in my judgment have dangerously totalitarian impulses. I certainly wouldn't want them to know where I live in real life. The existence of such people was a surprise to me when I first joined WP, but there they are.
Last post in this thread I don't want to get bogged down here I lead and individual life and I feed deeply for all those on the spectrum. I just had to state the truth it's done others can carry on this thread if they so wish.
