Not with my kind of autism. I have never got a positive result on ANY on-line autism test. I think the questions are too simplistic. |

| Whenever I read about some autistic Police officer or Chief Constable they are usually from UK. But reading about a MI5 Intelligence officer is the first time for me. Seems to me that the UK is at the front line employing autistic people in law enforcement and similiar professions. |
