Yes, people with Asperger’s and high-functioning autism can be wonderful journalists. Often perfectionists, individuals with Asperger’s or high-functioning autism can easily detect flaws and typos in the text and write very accurate and objective texts. One of the recommendations if you choose this job is to single out what you are passionate about and comfortable talking/writing about. While journalism does require leaving your comfort zone to some extent, it can help you acquire new skills and break barriers.
