I have Asperger's syndrome as well.

I have never disclosed this during the interview, but if you must, go through autistic job placement services and companies such as hireautism.org

The department of labor can also help you find agencies to place you. More importantly, they have good relationships with the companies, and these companies know what to expect.

There are also hubs like Life in Progress which contain a wealth of resources. Any of these options are good because you are going into a situation where they understand autism and want to hire people with it, and your behaviors will not be misconstrued.

I have a bookshelf populated with books on closing sales (useful for interviewing) How to Win Friends and Influence People, the Seven habits of highly effective people, as well as Brag: How to Toot Your Own Horn Without Blowing it.
