James,
ReplyDeleteNobody knows what Asperger's syndrome is, except for the accounting people, because I think that's a requirement to become an accountant. Don't put that in your resume! People will think you're in a coma or something. Reminds me of some movie where a spleen injury is being faked. First the faker grabs his neck and says "Oh my spleen!" and when he realized that was the wrong location, he grabs his groin and says "Oh, my spleen!" again. It's only funny because not many people know where the spleen is, only where it's not. Insert Aspergers for spleen. Still pretty funny, because nobody knows what it is.
I know you and I don't know what Asperger's is, really. Give em a chance to meet you first; you are friendly and can be charming.

P.S. Were you really a Sonar Technician or is that something you put at the end to see if we were paying attention?
I really was a sonar tech, on a submarine no less. Yes, I hit my head on something just about every day. And, I don't normally mention Asperger's on my resume but put it on here because it's as much an introduction to me as it is a job-hunting tool.
