I have no doubt that there are heaps of jobs in which aspies would be competitive or superior workers. But how do you actually win any job if you not capable of giving the interviewers a warm and fuzzy feeling during a job interview? You have got to do that to get the job, it doesn't matter how qualified you are.

And how do you keep the job and avoid being resented and treated strangely or bullied by others at work if you can't or won't play all the social games that go on in workplaces, and don't want to befriend your work colleagues or supervisors? I once had to leave a job after things went pear-shaped after I failed to respond to attempts to start a friendship by a female supervisor. Just because "Being the bosses' friend" and "Being friendly with colleagues during breaks and after-work social functions" are not items written in duty statements, that still doesn't mean these are not essential requirements of most jobs.
