Autism and MMA Reporting 1

This may be a recurring series, so I put the one up there. The idea behind this is just writing as an autistic MMA reporter; the challenges, advantages, and hopes therein are the main subjects. First off, an advantage.
Small time media, which would be composed of myself, The Doctor (my boss who runs MMATalkRadio), Dizz (TalkMMA), and several others, is perfect for an autistic. We don't have the connections that Sherdog or Junkie have, so let's be honest, we aren't going to be breaking any stories. Therefore, our way of gaining readers is to be able to put something on the table that no one else notices. People like to think of autists as paying no attention to detail, and for the most part, at least for me, that's quite true. However, if we put enough thought into something, and we're pretty deep thinkers, you'll eventually find a gem. A lot of the stuff I've written, simply put, I will have no idea how no one else came up with this.
Advantage number two of course has to do with my particular breed, known as Asperger's Syndrome, more commonly Asperger's or AS. There's part of the diagnostic criteria known as the "special interest"; in layman's terms, we put a lot of focus into our hobbies. That focus that I can direct to MMA allows me to focus on those details that I wouldn't otherwise care about. Thus this kind of directs into the first line of reasoning.
Autism does have its challenges (hacking me off will carry a lot more consequences for you than it would an NT, and it is easier to hack me off) but it also has it's advantages. Unfortunately most autism organizations are after a cure; all that does is throw the baby out with the bathwater.
