I have always been very good at both of these fields, but the corporations who control them never wanted any part of me. The computer industry has gained this problem the most during the so-called " tech boom " of the 90s, when all those horrid big corporations became involed, like Micro$oft, Adobe, Oracle. There is on fact that I have found true in the Human world; if money is involved, Aspies are not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know what has discouraged them from hiring you? >The computer industry has gained this problem the most >during the so-called " tech boom " of the 90s, when all >those horrid big corporations became involed, like >Micro$oft, Adobe, Oracle. > Those companies were around long before the '90's. If anything, they have lost ground due to the rise of open source software. The boom also created thousands of small companies. Did you have any luck with them?
