Yes 50%
No 50%

I'm kind of curious because I thought about majoring in Criminal Justice, and it seems interesting to me. Is it good for someone like me with Asberger's?

Odd, I always associated autism/down syndrome with irresponsible and unjust behavior. *shrugs*

they might lack the necessary social aptitude needed for such a job, the ability to read people and understand their micro-expressions of others might be a necessary quality on streets or in prisons/jails, not just in reading others and acting accordingly but in also projecting a sense of authority

there's a lot of jobs though under the umbrella of the prison industrial complex, both in public and private sector, there might be certain jobs that are fine for such a person, always need a clerk here or a secretary there
