I don't think a job that's good for one aspie would necessarily be good for another. If you enjoy tedious, monotonous, boring, repetitive tasks, then accountant, auditor or inventory-taker. If you need a quite environment, then a non-public (academic) library. Some of us are good with animals or children, and some of us are actually good with the public in a business setting.

I can't really comment on this, because not all Aspies have it to the same extent.

Any software developer who's been around a while knows that aspies are excellent for that job. The only time I've ever been to a job interview I let my aspie self show and they instantly knew I was one of those, they didn't know what asperger is, but they had seen people like me before. So I got the job, and I was good at it.
