Bobkasen, what country are you from and how old are you? just curious...?
I think being a politician would be a horribly stressful job for someone on the spectrum, truly.. Although, you might want to check into nonprofit organizations.. they often-times can be eager to get people to be on their committees because a lot of people aren't willing to commit to the responsibilities or don't have the time.. that could be a way to "get your feet wet" in politics and you coudl learn more. There are also ways to "climb the ladder" with nonprofits.. I personally don't get involved in the political side of a group I am a member of... I know that I just don't have the personality for that.. I volunteer in other ways though..
I am from US IL and 23 years old.
I don't really want to run for office without having non-profit organization. I understand about the getting the feet wet so I figure that a smaller position like government or city member would be just fine.
Granted if I have open several non-profit organization and help over 500,000 people, I say that worth claiming when applying for political office.
