Congratulations on your cure - now you can change your designation from Have Asperger's - Diagnosed to Neurotypical!
Your sweeping statements are amazing - I have a diagnosis AND a computer to hide behind AND I make a pile of money AND I don't use Asperger's as an excuse for anything, because I do outstanding work, AND no one in my office even knows about the Asperger's, except for my immediate supervisor.
This boss is smart enough to make use of my unusual abilities, and overlook the Aspie quirks, which is to everyone's benefit, because I can solve computer problems that no one else in my office can.
Knowing about the Asperger's has made life much easier for me, simply because I have learned WHY I am different from everyone in my workplaces, past and present. That knowledge helps me succeed, because I have learned to lower my expectations of NT co-workers.
Contrary to your claim of great expertise, you don't seem to know much about Asperger's at all.
I was about to write pretty much exactly the same thing, but you've beat me to it. Except in my office it's one of my colleagues who knows, rather than my boss. I have a diagnosis, I have a computer, I make lots of money, I have lots of fun, I have an active social life, I know how I work because of the Asperger's and as such can make extra use of my 'obsessions' and use those 'quirks' to my advantage... This troll really doesn't understand much about AS does he?!
