Help! My co-worker is autistic !?
summary
Claims practical fixes: people with autism work best with explicit structure, concrete steps and reasons, and patience. Advice includes set up IDE templates and naming conventions and use Google Calendar reminders and clear cancelation reasons; create timeboxed listening slots for intense special-interest conversations; break work into small milestone rewards and prefer R&D or well-defined tasks. Backing comes from seven years of volunteer development experience and real-world examples of tools and meeting routines that reduce misunderstandings.
