Twitter debate erupts over Japanese book that shows man with Asperger’s refusing to work overtime

Quote:
Refusing to do overtime can get you saddled with a stigma as lazy or immature. But Twitter user @tetefu_brar stumbled across what he feels is an even more startling interpretation in a book he was reading, in which a man who has Asperger’s syndrome is shown insisting that he’s going home precisely at the designated quitting time.
