Mr. Stephen Coates:

I realised something when I was listening. When one thinks of autism, one always thinks of people we see in the news who are termed as "high-functioning autistics". I cannot think of the appropriate term. They are more mute than vocal.

It would be handy if one could get employers to meet the person so that they can see that this person is not like the character from a very famous film involving a person with autism, and actually more like a real person with whom they could actually work.
