What career could they get that had the least amount of autistic people in it. They said they couldn't stand autistics and wanted to avoid them as much as possible.

I told them that if they can't stand autistic people then they don't deserve a good career and then said to have a nice life, but not too nice.

I'm thinking maybe this person had a bad experience with one or two autistic individuals and therefor think they're all the same and I should have explained autism is a spectrum disorder and that we're just as individual as NTs, but I don't know if they're intelligent enough to understand that. Or if they're just being a troll. :?

You mean warning employers not to hire this person because they're anti-autistic?

But aren't most employers anti-autistic anyway, even if they don't admit it?

Oh no. I mean recommending him a dead-end career. (But that is below the civilized. I was being sarcastic.)
