How about Aspies getting jobs at mental health institutions?

Seems to me that the inability of some Aspies to form emotional attachments might actually be an advantage in this work environment. Aspies might be better suited to working with known but still dangerous psychopaths that everyone else wants to avoid.

And, they need workers of all types to maintain these facilities. They have IT needs just like everyone else.

Shame there aren't any where I live, i'd even prefer to be sectioned under the Mental Health act so that I can stay there, at least in a stable accommodation as opposed to my current temporary housing arrangement which i'm 100% dependent on family. Not many things I can do that would mimic the behaviour of a psychopath. I'm the beyond the point in caring what my family thinks if I choose to do such things. I still wouldn't want to work with other people though if it can be avoided.
