I think this is very shortsighted, but also not unexpected. As far as I understand, someone who is autistic often does not consider themselves to be autistic. But also autism is a problem of social cues. Maybe this person is in capable of self regulation and monitoring, and so he thinks he’s great, it’s everyone else who is bad. That’s just a classic defense mechanism.

Bottom line, working with someone who is autistic can be extremely difficult, but it’s not their fault, it’s mostly their defense mechanisms in response to the way people are treating them.
