I'm not hinting at anything, that's the standard term for the lowest level of the Autism Spectrum. At that level, it ends up being less a Learning Disorder, and more a Social Interaction Disorder.
The most useful resources I've found are those that compare and contrast behaviour and interaction patterns between Aspies and Neurotypicals. It's cut down vastly on the misunderstandings and miscommunications since I got a bit of an idea of the different ways that we frame and discuss things, and especially in terms of understanding non-literal/figurative speech, which confused the hell out of me for years.
It's also helped guide me towards work that better suits me, has helped me understand why I've liked or disliked various jobs that I've had, and thus I've been doing better at finding jobs that I can actually handle and excel at instead of just wading through piles of frustration.
There should be more, but I just got back from work and I've got a headache and I can't really brain very well right now.
