This is a very good and well-written article. Thank you for sharing!

As someone who has recently been diagnosed, I count myself very lucky to have found my current employment. I am not sure how I would do if my field dries up and I had to somehow try to get a different type of job.

...Thus the economies of these countries slow down. I really wonder if it would have any stimulus effect on the economy if more people with ASD were actually hired and performing work.

I think I even read about people blaming the economy's performance on those with any autism.
