I’m a self taught web developer with Asperger’s Syndrome (ASD)
Asperger’s Syndrome is a developmental disorder related to autism and characterized by higher than average intellectual ability coupled with impaired social skills and restrictive, repetitive patterns of interest and activities.
While this is a mental disability that affects social skills, It is also known to improve programming skills. Along with this mental disability, I also have a unique perspective to solving problems, which is useful in computer programming. For me, this also includes a creative mind with a strong memory.
Having Asperger’s Syndrome can also increase repetitive tasks, so it doesn’t take me as much effort to sit down and practice programming skills. It may take me more effort to stop programming and remember to take a break at times.
