Hmmmmm? What kind of progamming? Their is software game programming? Their is other types I cannot think of at this moment! How long have you been progamming?

No, I haven't written any games. :D Mostly boring stuff: databases, website back-ends, distributed data flow software. Right now I am working on a program that has plenty of 3-D graphics, among other things, though. I've been programming for fun since I was 16, and for money since I was 22.

mythology that autistic, and especially AS folks should be good to great at it.

In most software projects there is little math, except for simple arithmetic and mathematical logic. Linear algebra is needed for graphics. Number-crunching programs are a different story, though.

I get SSDI.

I have CP diagnosed at age 3.

I have AS diagnosed at age 41 in 2004.

Also MDD (Major Depression Disoder) in 2004.

Been getting SSDI since Dec 04.

I get SSDI since I've worked for many years and have built it up.

Pistols made by glock and heckler & koch are far nicer, I must say.

I couldn't see that being enough money to get by. I don't think I am even fit enough to be a uni professor (I know the subject matter, but I cannot handle the social interaction necessary)

I am on SSDI mainly for my co morbid disorder but I still work part time cause I only get 439 a month and with that lil amount I have very little left for extra after I pay all my bills.
