It sounds like it will take an NT to do the organization and setup of such a company. Setting up a structure is something us aspies have trouble with (well, at least I can say that's one of my biggest problems). But once such a structure is in place, the NTs could figure out how to make it easy for the aspies to participate in the projects ... and it could be a completely seamless operation.



Considering organizational structures is a rather important interest of mine I disagree.

I like this idea but not sure how much I can help with software development.

I didn't word that right. Setting up the office politics and the hierarchy of management are the things that I can't do at all. I've avoided supervisory positions because I can't manage people.

Setting up other kinds of structure, like how to get a product from its starting point to being finished, is different from that.

I agree, we're good at creating that kind of structure. I guess I should have originally said SOCIAL structure.

I really like ideas like this one, I'm thinking about it more practiclly and if I find a way that it could work / be structured I will present the idea.


I have now expanded an idea about this that works like social enterprising, I made a thread with everything that I have written in the work and finding a job section here
Social enterprising; making your job fit you, not the otherway around

Please have a look and tell me what you think and if you have anyother thoughts on how it can work practically :)

Starting a business isn't gambling. Businesses fail because people lack knowledge and commitment, not because they are unlucky. Chance plays almost no part in it.


Not gambling in the legal sense, nor in the moral sense. However, particularly for a small business, an awful lot does come down to luck, particularly in the short run. To borrow from the concept from Ardvark, you can get your money in good, but sometimes it does'nt work out.

The long-rumored 8 of 10 businesses fail is not entirely true. Since there is no central database of business formation, it's rather difficult to calculate the numbers. There are some advanced stat models that try, but I don't follow them well enough to explain them.
