| I love change when I'm the one who came up with it, which I'm always coming up with ideas but with executive dysfunction haven't gotten many of them off the ground.

| Without wanting to generalize, I'd say most customer-focused jobs/careers are unsuitable for those diagnosed with HFA/Asperger's. To be in a role which requires one to sell or assist in the purchase of a product does require a degree of assertiveness and personability (is that a word?). If you are ... |
