I also have Aspergers (or I should say had, because the diagnosis doesn't exist anymore). And yes, it sucks. I really wish I had some answers for you. I've always tried to fit in to the best of my ability, but they always see through me. It is a paradox that you can be very smart in other ways but not smart enough to execute behavior to make you a respected member of a group.

Sadly, it is perhaps so that regular software development is not a good career path for autists anymore because of the shift from hard to soft skills that has happened in the last 15 years. Maybe other avenues are more suitable, like book writing, lecturing or something.
