So basically i spend like 85% of my waking time working with or pondering Aspergers and Autism.

Id give it 12. (yeah, it kicked the scales ass)

I support CosmicRuss. As do a few others I hope.

That means so much to me at the moment, thanks oddone.

Unemployed and living with my parents.

Unemployed, living on benifits and waiting for a non-scammer to know that I exist.

I grow my own food, butcher my own chickens and sell the surplus at a farmers market. This provides me with food and gives me something vaugly resembling a social life - with short, practical interactions with others who need only approach me if they want something I have to sell. I'd give it a 10 on personal satisfaction level and a 1 on financial renumeration, 2 on a good day.

I'm a customer service rep in a call center. Job satisfaction: 5; money satisfaction: maybe 7-8. My job is a real challenge for me. But I've been hanging there for a few years now. I have great benefits though. Everyday I came back home exhausted & my job makes me hating people sometimes.

I manage community programs, set up new programs, do workshops and generally get about in a rather hyperative work style. I'd give my job a 9. I can always do something else if I get bored and do that every 12 months usualy

I am a gifted intervention specialist in a public high school. I get to work with students who are academically gifted. We get along wonderfully well since the traits I have with my Asperger's is similar to the traits they have with their giftedness. For me, I can think of no mainstream job that could better fit me. I give it a 10.

I'm a janitor/stock worker at a furniture store, right now. Pays pretty well, considering it's menial labor. I get to work independently, too, and listen to my iPod while I work. The people I work with are all good, friendly people as well. I'd have to rate it at a six or maybe a seven out of ten, overall.

Just started up a business making my own jewelry and Id rate that a 10:-)
Been doing it for 6 years on a different level and started to feel like I was ready to work on some more advanced things and take a chance.

I'm an electrician, working in residential/commercial/industrial. Status-wise, I am a self-employed sub-contractor. Due to my stunted communication skills and a lack of pre-programmed respect for authority, I cannot handle working for a large company or within a large group. I find I do a lot of out-of-the box thinking when planning and laying out a job. I even get called to troubleshoot and repair machines like CNC lathes and mills. In all four years of trade school, I graduated at the top of the class for that particular years intake of students (approx 300 people.) I'd think I'd rate my performance as a solid 8, I hope it doesn't seem too self promoting.

I'm a visual designer, working for an university.

Me - I'm a writer - short stories, and working on a novel.

To whoever concerned - But do you actually make any money doing that?

Me - Well... (ahem) ... no, I don't, actually.

To whoever concerned - Then how the hell do you make a living?

Me - Okay, you got me. My wife support me. But, hey, she believes in me. She believed in my writing even when I didn't.

To whoever concerned - So you leach off your old lady?

Me - Something like that. Now, mind your own business, dick.

Telecommunications engineer. I rate it a 9 for me.

I'd *LOVE* that job. I love the PSTN and equipment associated to make it run.

I'm currently a slot machine technician at a casino. I'm forced to go out on a busy, crowded, and loud casino floor. But, having an interest in electronics, I'm the best tech they have, as I fix the problems the fastest. The social part of the job I suck at. I'd rate it about a 4.
