Hi Elena,
Thanks for posting this - looks interesting. In a similar vein there was an article in the Work section of the Guardian on Saturday - a letter to their advice section. It was from a mother of a son who has autism and is unable to find a job although being extremely qualified. I think there are some good ideas offered in terms of how to overcome disappointing interviews etc.

Thanks!

I only found out about this article a few days ago, and was surprised not to hear more about it online.
The Sunday Times Magazine ran a fascinating article called "Worlds Apart" last week. A friend at work gave me the article and it's really great. Quite long and tells the story of many different people while touching on many of the same issues that "The Autistic Me" did - namely, that approximately 400,000 adults in the UK have autism and the lack of employment opportunities for people perfectly capable of working, in the right kind of jobs.
I can't find the article online for some reason. Did anyone see it? What did you think?
And if anyone finds the article online please share the link with us (maybe I just wasn't searching by the right terms).
