I'm pretty good at proofreading. I like natural languges.
But when I went to college to study computer programming, I found I completely sucked at it. Seriously, I was crap. I found that I didn't understand it at all. It was like a foreign language without any rules.
Somehow I got through Java, but when I started C# I just stalled.
Maybe it was because I wasn't that interested when I started the classes. I didn't have the passion for it.
If you like and enjoy making music and singing, keep up with them. They may be your "thing".
I am also good at proofreading.
Why do you think some people who are professionals and work with people on ASD spectrum assume that analytical aspies would good at computer programming? I am not refering to people who believe in stereotypes. I was told by such a professionals that I should be good at computer programming because of my analytical skills. Sometimes people assume things to be true that are not really that true. In programming you have to understand how the system works. I guess many of us are people who want to understand the system. For me it is not athe comouter programming system (whatever that refers to).
Some think that most (male?) aspies who get a job are scientists or work with computers. Tony Attwood on the other hand thinks that a lot of aspies who get a job are actors. Actors need to be analytical too, I guess. That's the stereotype.
