J.B.
I am not, but I have worked with plenty of people who may very well be on the spectrum and one person who talks about it openly. These are all high-functioning people working in a corporate environment, but the folks I'm thinking of tend to work in "behind the scenes" roles such as IT, pension analytics, fund accounting, etc. Very bright, very good at what they do (and what they do usually has a very narrow focus - an inch wide but a mile deep), but quirky and a bit (or a lot) socially awkward. Most are married, some have children. All are highly educated and are well paid.
My guess is that there are a lot of adults out there who were never diagnosed. As this generation grows up and joins the work force, it will be more visible, just like it is more visible in school now than when we were kids. I think it's similar to ADHD, which 20 years ago probably wasn't really acknowledged or talked about in the workplace but now is so common that it's not a big deal. I have several colleagues with ADHD who were diagnosed as children or young adults, and another batch who got diagnosed after their own kids were.
I recently read an article about how some technologies specifically recruit, train and support employees with Autism because many have unique skill sets that are very valuable in a technology company. The article is below:
