Probably a case of Germans Love David Hasselhoff but with this site's tropers instead of Germans. I know that avid fans of a game (heck, any title) think it's more popular than it actually is.
That's not really an autism issue, though. That's just a general niche-fandom thing.

I'm currently being treated with cognitive therapy and medication and it's really helpful though I really would like to get some specialist professional help.They should be able to guide me with career ideas. I'll try the links you gave!
If I need to apply for disability it might be a good idea ^.^. At least I'll have that safety net though my mom seems to think I don't need it. She is on disability herself for other reasons and doesn't want to see me go down that path but...eh, it's not her future.

Sometimes it pays to accept that yes, you have a disability.
I wouldn't have my current job (that hugely turned my life around) otherwise.
. It is really annoying when your special interest is in such a niche fandom though.

An autistic stock trader triggered a flash crash
and was arrested, but will be spared. He returned the money that he made. He also didn’t live like the millionaire that he had become, either.
Home confinement may not be much of a departure from Sarao's typical life. He has lived in the same small room with his parents in Hounslow, United Kingdom, since childhood, rarely venturing out, in part due to his inability to complete the simplest everyday tasks, including doing laundry, Burlingame said.
His lawyers said the time Sarao spent in jail in Britain was "unbearable" because of his autism, saying it amounted to "a torture of sensory stimulation, sleep deprivation and forced socialization," and that he became suicidal. They said they were concerned that Sarao may not be able to survive another stint behind bars.

It's illegal to manipulate a system that pretty much exists to be manipulated and played with? Huh.

No, it's illegal to be caught manipulating a system that exists to be manipulated.

It's illegal to use software to give yourself an unfair edge over mere humans at normal reaction speed. The multipe-per-second trading speed that computers are capable of is known to cause market crashes when not restricted, so...

Ah, entrenched interests.

Sure, and burglars picking locks is the fault of the lock designer, not the burglar.

I'd say this is more like a lock opening because you're really good at opening a door.
It just never fails to be amazing how many things related to the stock market are illegal because of continuing to enforce a notion of fair play whilst at the same time rabidly advancing communication speeds.

Why would that be amazing? And what does any of this have to do with autism?

How Abuse Mars the Lives of Autistic People, an article about the intersection of autism and bullying and abuse.
Abusers have their own reasons for choosing autistic children as targets. Chief among them is that children on the spectrum often lack the communication skills to report abuse — or to be believed if they do. Seay remembers one young girl with a developmental disability who told her family that she was being sexually abused at school. The girl’s parents told the school administrators, but both parties doubted her story until a typically developing sibling reported that the same thing had also been happening to her.

Case in point: During one episode, Matilda experiences a meltdown after she unintentionally commits a social blunder that embarrasses her younger sister at school. She hits the ground and swings at a tree with her lunchbox, then runs off to play piano in an empty auditorium, while her sister calmly says to her friends, “She’ll be fine in about 20 minutes.”
And she was.
(I have to wonder: Could watching this situation play out on TV possibly prevent someone from inappropriately intervening or escalating a real-life meltdown? We hope so.)
Her entrance into school was also instantly recognizable. Matilda waits outside for the crowd to pass through the front doors, then walks in a few minutes behind. She then half-skips down the hallway, jumping to touch a banner, tapping several lockers and fixing a poster on the way — behavior so common to anyone familiar with autism, but baffling and even infuriating to those who aren’t.
For both autistic girls and parents, the hope is that seeing these everyday realities of autism on television will normalize and humanize them.
This is about a TV show called Everything's Gonna Be Okay. One of the lead actresses has autism, and portrays a character who has it. I plan to check it out.

Sounds interesting.
To pity someone is to tell them "I feel bad about being better than you."

Poor autie stock trader, I feel for him 😭 ! Prison would surely kill me in days as I got spasmophilia triggering panic attacks in addition to those symptoms.
...
Why people would hate those is a mystery and probably some obscure intrinsic social rule about giving lip service to ambiant cynicism and anxiety even if one's supposed to be an innocent child 😞.

An article about how employers who deliberately hire autistic people do it.
Without such supports, people with autism often have a much harder time at the office. Thomas Iland, 36, is a certified public accountant. In 2012, he found a full-time accounting job at Tetra Tech in Pasadena, California. He found himself having to navigate many situations that were challenging for him. One day, he explained to his manager that he asks many questions because he has autism. Iland says his manager then accused him of hiding his condition during the interview — and refused to answer any more of Iland’s questions. Iland found a job coach on his own, but he says he still did not have enough support, and he left his job in early 2013.
It's been shown that the companies that get it right get major benefits from it.
Including ones with intellectual disability! Here's an example:

So, is this actually about your brother with ASD (C if you prefer) or is this just thinly-veiled finger-wagging?
This isn't a genuine question, I've already decided.
