As someone with high functioning autism could I suggest you look into the healthcare sector? I work (remotely) for one of the top EU hospitals - Cambridge University Hospitals Trust - as a senior analyst/programmer in clinical trials.

They are putting neurodiversity into practice (they reached out to all ND staff to contribute in this) and whilst may play into the cynical view of lip service if you hold that view, I know they are genuine about this. I also have a fantastic and understanding manager whom is open to making adjustments for me. I would never, ever what to work anywhere else away from the bunch of compassionate people at the Trust. The whole Moto of this Trust is "Safe, Kind, Excellent".

Loosing corporate, capitalistic drivers from your workplace when it comes to ND is a perhaps good start. Not saying all commercial employers or even non-profits don't care, but from my experience I really struggled in that sector in the past.

If you are open to a geographic move, or could get remote work, I would strongly suggest having a look as the NHS Jobs board. https://www.jobs.nhs.uk

Anyway, good luck to you, hope you find happiness and fulfilling work.

The UK is no longer in the EU and the new visa requirements have kicked in :-(

Very true. I think I should have said European region/Western Europe. Philosopically I'm a European, Brexit or not.
Me too bud. Glad you found a good place to work.
