Hi 'Anonymous Poll Creator', I have only just received your reply email about 2mins ago. I suspect (not sure) that sometimes the site holds back email replies on subjects that are not relevant to the topic, or have become too communicative/debative on a simple IIN question. OR, it could just be a glitch in this sites email system!
Anyway, what you have described in experience and qualification is good.
You have a BA Honors in languages? Linguistics etc? But you say you also have Asperger's Syndrome, something that holds the main concern of social communications type of disorder. Quite obviously you have done well to do your best in helping yourself.
You know Asperger's Syndrome is generally diagnosed in children and sometimes may be perceived as a late development socially. It would really depend upon how affected you are. I mean can others easily pick it up? Note: You yourself may not see what the problem is. Think of it as an anti-social behaviour.
The 'female' part, I hope is not a concern. But things like management or laborious jobs, the employer may ask a few MORE questions of you. Sorry just part of being you and living in our world. Generally I don't see any issue with this. Plus its against the law to not employe on these grounds anyway!
Um, 15K may be a tad too low for you (Lol)
I think this may be the reason why you are having difficulty getting positions.
In my view you should be applying for 25K and up, possibly up to 60K (just in a starting role at that)
Possibly because of your youth (?) and that you may place too much detail in areas of expertise (that may be the Asperger's Syndrome issue) Its possible that interviewers may look at you strangely. One way to overcome this is to literally go into the interview and answer questions as if you're a wise old adult. A wise adult, will properly answer the question but be confident not to seem desperate or overly concerned, even if the question implies that. ie So you're a woman are you, you do realize that this is generally a male orientated business? Your answer would NOT be eruption into abuse or shock horror. Just answer the question properly. Yes, I feel quite comfortable working within a male dominated area. My expertise and skills allow me to stay focused on the task at hand, whilst getting along with co-workers.
IIN to think that asking for salary requirements should be illegal?

To me you seem worth it :)
Good luck.
