A lot of people wouldn't think an Aspie to be a good fit as a therapist of any sort either. But that's sure not stopping me any! I'm working on my anxiety and working to understand social things better, so that when I finally get to my career goal as an Occupational therapist, the aspie problems won't be so disastrous. If you can get someone to hyperfocus on their job that they love, performance will be great. Who cares about the social aspect if they dont care either? I don't want to talk to people in a meeting about which flavor of smoothie they should make nest...I'd rather just make the dumb smoothie and do my job y'know?
