I actually got a lot of encouragement to take the ABA tech job so well, I'm going to go through their training to see if I would really fit well into it. Kinda weird someone who wonders if they are on the spectrum themselves agreeing to do this. But I know that I would NEVER mistreat someone and if something like that comes up I would walk away.

I wish you excellent luck!

You suspecting you're on the Spectrum itself just might gain you more compassion than usual.

Congrats.

Someone who's on the spectrum or relates to it is usually someone more comfortable to work with, especially when they're new at it.

Congrats Aignix! Best wishes and godspeed as you go forward.
