| Trust me, in the current publishing climate you do NOT want to go blindly getting an agent right now. At least I don't. |

| Yes, you're right. And I've depended on translators just as you've described, for years. However, since I'm going to try to make a living from my art I have to be businesslike, and my assistant will have to be trained and paid. I now encounter stress and deadlines and lawsuits and taxes and I can't ... |

| Also, Tequila, it saddens me to know that the world treats Aspies and ASD people such that my comments evoke such a response as "people will laugh at you." In the words of Dr. Richard Feynman: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Feynman "What do you care what other people think?" http://www.amazon.... |

And thank you for responding!
My DevArt account is cnicita.deviantart.com. I'm way behind in posting art there though. Bad artist. I'm hoping that getting a Linguine, life coach, whip snapper, manager, handler, or whatever I end up with will help me stay more up to date.
Thanks again. |

Linguine means "tongue" in Italian.
Temple Grandin has called this particular job description a "translator."
And I get paid money to write things that make people laugh, most recently in Australian dollars.

| I'm considering that a linguine might be more of a HID (Human Interface Device) than an organizer. A Life Coach prepares the Aspie to better take on the outside world, and to plan for and organize the interaction with it. That's more a design function, isn't it? This Interface specialist would reall... |

| I've now come across this brochure from the AANE: http://www.aane.org/docs/LifeMAP_Brochure.pdf which AANE Coaching Brochure which delineates a few tasks that Aspie coaches perform, in left-brain bullet-point format. I realize that putting "Must be Awesome and Love Robomancy Steampunk" will not impr... |

| Greetings, Mummy of Peanut, and thanks for such a fast answer. The organization here in the States is called the SBDC, or Small Business Development Center. And no, that's absolutely not what I am looking for. What I posted was only about 1/20th of the business plan I'm working on. It concerns a tra... |

Your Aspie score: 153 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 53 of 200
You are very likely an Aspie

| What do I mean by a Linguine? The name Linguine comes from the Pixar movie "Ratatouille." This movie starred a rat, Remy, who had a couple of rare gifts: a nose and a creative culinary vision. Remy couldn't exploit these in a profitable way, though, until he teamed up with an intermediary who could ... |

| 1. This is the line of thinking I'm pursuing. Although I'm approaching my own idea from a different angle, I'm very interested in keeping track of how your project develops, what obstacles you run into, and your successes. 2. I am married and have four kids. I have three sets of Aspie friends, all m... |

| Hi, all-- I posted a question about a Jeeves in the employment section of the discussion boards. I'm now combing the rest of the WrongPlanet boards making sure that the question I have asked hasn't been answered already. To the person who suggested that the Jeeves might be a Life Coach, I'm pretty s... |

Chocks away; blog entry is up:
Evidently I am not allowed to post links to it, so you will have to search under "Jeeves Request" or AtheneNoctua or some such thing.
Thanks. |

| Hi and thanks for answering. I'll attempt to make the blog entry work. I see your point about mentor vs assistant; perhaps for the idea to work there would have to be two separate people. I had a look at your blog but there just appear to be two empty entries. It might make more sense after reading ... |

| Greetings-- I've just posted a letter I sent to a few organizations, including AutismNow, onto a blog entry on this site. It delineates a program by which several AS freelancers could get one mentor/assistant between them, dentist-office style. If anybody knows of such an organization or structure, ... |
