Not Dxed AS yet... but well I had this one job teaching children about nature before I even knew about AS... the kids well caused me to have a nervious episode resembling a meltdown. Well after that, my boss suprising wrote what I thought was a very nice reference letter... but I just came across it again... it says things like I see the details, I entusiatstically pursue what I like to the highest degree, I would be good at computer science, and it goes on like this.
Seems to say "has AS", should I keep using this letter?

Depends on what other references you have. If I was a hiring manager, I'd see a red flag at "pursue what I like to the highest degree" and think - wow, does that mean he only does well with what he likes but can't be depended on to do other tasks I might assign him? How does the rest of the letter read?
On the nervous episode - I can relate. Working with kids is pretty demanding.

Overall its pretty positive, so far have only been using it for research jobs.
