I think you raise some good points, but I don&#x27;t really know what it&#x27;s like working with autistic individuals.  People working hourly jobs present a wide variety of staffing problems.  They don&#x27;t show up for their shifts on a whim because they had something better to do, or they had an emergency or are sick and don&#x27;t call in or find someone to cover.  People lose their tempers at difficult customers, they stand around talking or playing on their phones instead of working the line, they step out on unauthorized breaks, etc. etc.<p>I&#x27;m sure autistic individuals will have some of these problems, and some unique ones, but I suspect they are free of some others.  If someone is living in a controlled environment they are less likely to have scheduling difficulties or a busy social life that interferes with work, for example.  Some will be completely unfazed by any sort of conflict or confrontation and will go on doing their best regardless.  On the whole, I bet a lot of them are actually exemplary employees that simply require a different but no more onerous set of accommodations than a &quot;normal&quot; employee.
