I wrote a series of articles for my blog on how psychopaths/sociopaths prey on ASD folk in the workplace that the Shift Journal picked up. Hacker News got a hold of it and brought more attention. You can find the article here:

Congratulations! I hope people learn to spot them, with lasers.

It's too bad that business models support people with these characteristics. This is the reason we see so many of them in the workplace and especially in upper management.

Only a psychopath would be willing to do anything to get "on top".
