Engineer, I'd say there's quite a few undiagnosed in my field.
Couldn't think of doing anything but engineering.

My dad is an engineer too (and probably an aspie). :)

I'm a fireplace & stonemason. Hard work, but love it. Lucky , got into a niche of doing real high end work for the mega-rich in their summer homes. Really like when I get to take "artistic liberties" with natural stone on log homes. Good job for an aspie, can be social when I feel like it, or just just lose myself in my own creativity. Being an obsessive perfectionist hasen't hurt either.Being good at mechanical workings has led me to develop new ways of building fireplaces,faster,safer,&more efficient.

I'm a programmer in a Pulp and Paper mill.

Always excelled in my work, my boss keep telling me year after year in my annual evaluation. The only section in that evaluation that I suck at is the communication skills / working in group. Go figure ;)

I help a family with their two autistic teenage boys. I have obvious reasons for being able to sympathize with said boys.

I'm a college student and don't work during the school year. However, during the summer I do work. My job is a wildfire dispatcher in the Western United State. Its a lot of the fun and I earn really good money for only working 3 months.

P.S. If you don't have a clue what a wildfire is, just ask me. I love talking about it.

I'm 'screw', a prison officer/guard/warden. I like it because it has clearly defined rules/roles for everyone. I dont have as much contact with the prisoners as I used to, I was offered a place in a management group that makes more use of my organizational and analytical abilities. So I have devised numerous procedures and documents to be used on the database which have been acepted and used throughout the department.
I'm realy lucky that I have my own area to work in. One helpfull part of being AS is when some people get confrontational, I've no idea because I'm not reading them right, sometimes this tends to diffuse the situation.
