[quote=Anonymous]Look, nobody said to give him a pass because he has autism. The question is whether his autism makes you more empathetic or see the situation differently. To me, the answer is YES. Since he is autistic, he may need more express instruction about why expressing his thoughts in this way is unacceptable or hurtful in the workplace. He also seems possibly more vulnerable to exploitation by people who take advantage of his social naivete (eg the alt-right people). With some empathetic outreach, he could absolutely learn about what he has done. That's very different from saying he deserves a pass; or that being sexist/racist/offensive is a characteristic of autism. [/quote]
