It wasn't until I was in the Army with a squad under me that I realized that it wasn't me, it was them who did not work well, with me. I was goal/mission oriented and required my men to be interested in the results. They wanted to play around I didn't get their reasons. Anyway to make a long story shorter I am happy doing complex computer work and indexing, I don't need to see too many folks and get paid good money. For those out there who may have children who don't work or play well with others, it is the "others" who have the problem, your kid will figure out the right thing to do. I also believe that Asperger's is a genetic trait which works well as long as your barn isn't the one that burnt down. After seeing Andrew Carnagie's story on PBS he was the best Asperger in all of history! “Does not work or play well with others” was the 1950’s report card term for me.
