I don’t struggle with Autism, it struggles with me.
I’m overqualified.
To be fair, there are jobs where it is informally a requirement. They just don’t come right out and say it. In fact, they may not even know themselves that they are effectively screening positively for Autism.

Find me a software engineer who isn’t autistic I fucking dare you
There’s a lot, and the cishet white male ones are (often) making the tech space a worse place. The rest are usually fine
That’s dangerous rhetoric.
Musk approved autism supremacists.
Apparently, NSA and NRO like people with anxiety disorders because they are more risk-averse, suspicious, pessimistic and paranoid, and these things are useful when you’re trying to identify chemical weapons sites and missile silos from satellite imagery or rapidly evaluate the purpose of unexpected network traffic.
I need someone to teach me autism
It’s not something the Jedi would teach you.
Did I win?
First you need to be born autistic, then you can “unmask”, which is done by acting more autistic on pupose until certain behavioral patterns stick. Some people have luck with suppressing more harmful stims while replacing them with those that are not, but it’s not universal.
Sure they’ll post this, but then the work environment is bright lights, open office space, loud conversations, and coworkers who are all “just a hugger.”
Oh perfect, a gig for me.

But where on the spectrum? It’s not a zero/one game here.
Autism is expressed as a hex value from #000000 to #FFFFFF where #FFFFFF is not autistic at all (Unicorn) but #000000 is nonverbal/non-communicative.
Personally I consider myself a well-rounded #CBF0C5.
Should that be interpreted as 1x768 bit number or 3x256 bit numbers?
3x256. Visualised as a 2D graph. Lends it’s self to a spider chart.

Closer to an e/10 myself.
4 years @ 0.28 autisms should be more than sufficient to apply, then.
That’s the kind of question that’ll land you the job :P
Everyone has autism these days, I bet it still pays entry level wages on top of it.
