A great article from Computerworld about people with Asergers (Aspies) in IT departments. People with aspergers have the correct personal skill set to make good at tasks, but don't - can't - make good workers or worse yet if they get promoted - good managers.
People with aspergers are normally smart enough to figure out the social cues that they normally miss, but it is an effort.
I think most interesting were the comments from Microsoft that they have a buddy system that helps people with aspergers "learn" the system.
