Hi,

I'm an aspie (diagnosed in 2008) with a lot of experience in analytics and building BI reports. I'm thinking of starting a small dev.company in Los Angeles CA to do just that. These can be virtual jobs (work wherever). If I pay you through paypal I don't see why you even have to live in Los Angeles or even in the US.

When I thought of "where do I get people to work with me?" I came here first. We have such a freakin' hard time getting and keeping a job, it'd be nice to be 1st on the list for once. No one would need to know we're all on the spectrum.

Step 1 is figure out if there's critical mass of interest from you all.

Anyways, post below

1) Where you are located?
2) 4 year college degree - "nope", "yep", "I got in, but not actively working on it", "I got in and I'm going".
3) Experience in programming or something technical y/n (yes it is vague, but I'll ask more later)
4) None of the above but you are REALLY interested and have 10 free hours to train (I'll give you some links)

PLEASE be brief, I'll message everyone.

Give me, give me!
The fun thing is this very morning I woke up and thought: "Too bad I can't just work in America through Internet and get paid through paypal or something. Maybe I should ask on wrongplanet if anybody knows an online job for me? Nah, impossible. Jobs like that are nonexistent." and now you post something like this. Surprise! 8O

1) Where you are located?
- Libiąż, Poland

2) 4 year college degree - "nope", "yep", "I got in, but not actively working on it", "I got in and I'm going".
- graduated 3,5 year college: bachelors degree in economy/accounting,
- about to finish a 3 year course for IT associate.


3) Experience in programming or something technical y/n (yes it is vague, but I'll ask more later)
Yes.
- basic knowledge about html, css, php and javascript,
- can fix computers,
- I know Word, Excel, Powerpoint and a bit of Access so I can do formatting/data input jobs.


4) None of the above but you are REALLY interested and have 10 free hours to train (I'll give you some links)
- 10 hours is pretty short time. I could learn more than that.

Do you want responses from people on the spectrum only?
