> I'm not sure if a show is a good example.

Its just a show. I take it you have not worked in a combat zone, in a police force under fire, in a hospital ER with people dying around you, or other constant stress condition. I made the guess you have not spent years in these real world scenarios so I settled on a show that accurately depicts the behavior described in a valid context.

The bottom line is this: most autistic people are probably great, but there are valid behavioral limits present. People who are capable and motivated to do more will eventually burn out when their career is dictated by artificial constraints imposed to appease the given candidate pool. Its a compatibility problem that I moved on from. It some people find that offensive then they can continue to be offended and I will continue to work under different conditions.

You're completely right. I've never worked under such constant stress conditions (god bless).

I just want to tell you this: Autistic people (given the right circumstances) can be as capable and as motivated as you are. It's only a matter of workplace adjustment.
