A member asked:

Can you tell me, are job descriptions that require team skills and good communication skills discriminating against autistic?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

There : May be some jobs out there that are, but sometimes the autistic mind can outperform piers if they are able to get by with some basic ability and training. Keep looking, there is something out there!
