I don't struggle with Autism, it struggles with me.

I'm overqualified.

Apparently, NSA and NRO like people with anxiety disorders because they are more risk-averse, suspicious, pessimistic and paranoid, and these things are useful when you're trying to identify chemical weapons sites and missile silos from satellite imagery or rapidly evaluate the purpose of unexpected network traffic.

I need someone to teach me autism

First you need to be born autistic, then you can "unmask", which is done by acting more autistic on pupose until certain behavioral patterns stick. Some people have luck with suppressing more harmful stims while replacing them with those that are not, but it's not universal.

Oh perfect, a gig for me.

Sure they'll post this, but then the work environment is bright lights, open office space, loud conversations, and coworkers who are all "just a hugger."

Closer to an e/10 myself.

4 years @ 0.28 autisms should be more than sufficient to apply, then.

That's the kind of question that'll land you the job :P

Everyone has autism these days, I bet it still pays entry level wages on top of it.
