So, is Asperger's Syndrome back in?

I think people with Asperger's syndrome are funny, and think they should be accepted and welcomed into the workforce. They seem to be very great at a small set of skills, and that should be harnessed and rewarded.

That's how much of the world views American workers. We're great at a small set of skills, even if our social skills are grating.

Not so small. And lives (and wars) have been lost because foreign workers didn't have the breadth of knowledge that their American counterparts had. I'm thinking about the 737 Max crashes, where several American pilots, diagnosing the problem, easily corrected the aircraft's dive and flew on. Some other natonalities consider 'pilot' to be a high status job. Unworthy of the intimate mechanical knowledge involved. And they flew right into the ground.
During WWII, there were significant differences between British/American and German radar sets. The German stuff was simple to operate, but when it didn't work, that was it. British radar sets had all the knobs. With the expectation that the operators could tweak it if needed.
even if our social skills are grating.
Try skiing in Austria. They stand on your skis in the lift line.
