As a law student, I experience this a lot.
Computers and programming were/are my only passion and obsession.
My life is dedicated to computers, but professionally I have to be a lawyer.
I just had an interview at an IT Law Firm, and made a fool of myself.
That's why I completely agree that, we as "people who are good at computers" need to keep seperate identities.
Because if you go full Aspergers, you make yourself vulnerable.
Once people realize you're "different", you get the "poor boy treatment" and that hurts.
PS: I am still trying to get over the interview, sorry if I don't make any sense.
