[quote=Anonymous]What was the separate conversation about? My husband and son are on the spectrum, and my husband, a research scientist who holds a PhD, has been let go numerous times. He's incredibly good at what he does, but he doesn't pick up non-verbal cues and his perfectionism makes him slow. My son has just been hired again for the same job he had last summer, as a STEM camp counselor. They did need to talk to him last year about not eating in the classroom, because it makes the students hungry, and they're not allowed to eat - that's was a lack of social awareness on his part. He's a rule-follower, but realistically, people can't create a ton of rules just for him, when everyone else knows not to do certain things. I can't tell you how relieved I was that they found him unobjectionable enough to be rehired! He must have done OK on the rest. So... maybe it's not as dire as you think? Fingers crossed, OP.
