I was just wondering, have any other aspies been successful in applying for internships. Post university?

The one thing I'm afraid of is the personality questionnaire/face-to-face interview and whether I will actually be able to function in the workplace...

I've managed group assignments at university, but I'm not sure how similar the skills I have developed are in relation to working in the workplace. These assignments in the past have required a few sessions with peers and negligible in comparison to what I view as the 8 hour consistent nonstop discussions in the workplace?

Would I be better off going for a government job instead? I gather it's a lot less intense compared to the private sector.

Gosh, I just hope I can get around it.

Anyway, there was also this IBM internship but that was only for disabled people. I'm not sure where Asperger's syndrome lies as it really isn't sufficient enough and would be taking advantage of a program designed maybe for people in wheelchairs? I dunno.

Meh, missed the 5 minutes editing.

Anyway...

Suppose if I was to rehearse myself well for these interviews. I could maintain eye contact I suppose. However, looking the ethical side of things; they would reasonable expect me to carry on in the same manner with the rest of the "work team"... I guess I really shouldn't do this then? <<< What is everyone's opinion on this? If I did this, I would probably be fired sometime soon anyway, right?

^ I suppose I will be going into the business side of things.
