@usernameca It seems to me that autism is such a large umbrella term, and there are many subsets huddled together underneath it. Where someone may be on the spectrum, how it is manifested, etc. certainly can influence the best-fitting and successful employment situations. This is my humble opinion only, and your experience may be different. As someone on the spectrum, diagnosed at a later age, I found it helped me understand, in looking back, why some jobs were not a right fit. I often wonder how different the paths might have been if I knew then what I know now.
