Also don't forget self-driving cars that might make driving jobs obsolete!<br /><br />Hairdressing and Makeup: If a customer wants a new haircut to make a good impression at an upcoming job intervew, but the hairdresser believes "don't care what other people think!!!!!" too much to listen to the customer or know what looks professional in a haircut...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4841851020927689161.post-3906795210872891402016-11-03T07:04:13.462+11:002016-11-03T07:04:13.462+11:00How about Asperger Autistics starting their own te...How about Asperger Autistics starting their own tech,tech writing,software,finance,etc.startup company?

I can certainly see how working in a corporate environment can be taxing for him. There is a lot of conflict, politics and problems that he could be dealing with.<br /><br />I think perhaps working as an independent software developer could be really good.<br /><br />By the way - thank you for blogging and posting and sharing here.
