No doubt, I get that all the time. Seriously what good are brains when you have nowhere to apply them? My aspie focus-driven problem is reading. I love the shape of text, especially in good solid paragraph blocks-- mmm, so symmetrical. I'll read anything from ancient literature and history to math and science books. I'll comprehend it all too, enough to point out glaring errors in other people's statements. Unfortunately I don't have the ability to creatively think and make the connections among all those disciplines like many others can. Therefore, my "special" ability is nothing more than collecting useless information and appearing to be an *ssh*le to anyone I try to communicate that information with.
Sounds like you were made for the job.
Just a thought.
