Hi I was wondering how AP affects people's careers. Do you think it has a negative impact? I have had AP for about 35 years and work in computing. I found that because I didn't socialise at all I spent much of my free time developing skills that were useful in my work. Because of this I became quite good at my job. A few years ago I became a contractor and was, what I consider, very well paid (over 70K a year) due to my skill set. Even though my social isolation helped in some respects to do well, overall the condition is very debilitating so if I had a choice I would not have AP. Has anyone else with AP concentrated on their career because they don't socialise that much and managed to advance themselves? Thanks Jon
