Jobs for Aspies that would utilize their fantastic memory?

Post Reply New Topic

At least in our experience, our sons have spectacular memories.

What jobs do you think would utilize fantastic memory ability?

An autistic guy I know won an incredible amount of money in the 80's in a television qiuz, knowing EVERYTHING about movies. I think he can live on that.

I hate to point this out, but having a good memory in itself is unlikely to get anyone a job. You need more than one skill. Mind, it can help with certain things, but a computer these days makes up for a lousy memory for the most part...

yeah, I know that a computer often makes up for a lack of memory . . .

There are some situations, though, where you AREN'T using a computer, and you're in high-stress situation at work, and a person who concentrates on the details rather than the whole picture might come in handy.

Why not in medicine? Anatomy takes a HUGE amount of memory. Mines not so great, so I won't be pursuing the topic after this. But, any of the sciences requires a lot of memory.

I'm going to be a veternarian. I think my enclopediac knowledge of zoology and such will come in handy. I remember EVERYTHING I find relevant.

Professional card shark!

we're not all meant to have great memorys are we?
mine is absolutely shocking, a shame i missed out on this!
