Corporate Sales is normally a B2B job, and it's most important to have detailed product knowledge and a thorough understanding of your client's need... |

| I think there is no explicite needs to totally focus on technical jobs/knowledgs. Yeah - the 'middle ground' between, say, marketing and computing is likely at least to be manageable, and dealing with one's weaknesses has to have some place. {Mind you, I found out the hard way that it an "aspie" ca... |

| Hi I'm wondering about the employment experiences of 'aspies' who lack much enthusiasm forany areas of the 'geek' world, in spite of its steady infiltration of the world of paid work since the 90s. How have others dealt with this dilemma? By managing to succeed in a less-technical field like teachin... |

| aspies of any gender do not have that NT sexual behavior from what I've seen which is part of what causes NTs to run. Who knows what it would be like in a world with 50/50 NTs and aspies? I'd reword this as "aspies of any gender cannot find that NT sexual behaviour. We might stumble across it - giv... |

| Our traits are a spectrum, with more or less random configurations between people. That's why we no longer can qualify as species or subspecies. However, the traits themselves, when viewed as a collection of traits, could very well qualify as another species (just look at all the species-typical di... |

| Something off-the-wall to throw into the ring - Autistics aren't so much substantially different (to others) as unhinged from the ordinary human reactions which ground others' being. Whereas NTs feel 'y' in response to 'x' -and feel that that feeling as a reflection of their essential being- autisti... |

So to ward off all things 'existential', witness: Usually, people say things like: "Life is what you make it." "Life may be meanin... |
