>But it’s less male, and it suits me better. That's not maleness, that's autism spectrumness. That's tech's real problem. Most of us are on the spectrum somewhere and are socially a complete and utter mess. More 'normal' people can do this job but they don't want to as its endless workaholism and obsession for the most part and keeping up with obsessives isn't fun nor are they pleasant to be around. As someone who works hard to break out of the geek/aspergers mold and to be a more rounded person I very much relate with this woman. Weaponized autism, for lack of a better word, is something that is very unpleasant to be on the receiving end of. I don't recommend a tech career to anyone at this point. There are much better and healthier ways to make a living.
