Hey, Thanks for the response. You raise some super interesting points.

I think you tread a slightly tricky line though - while it's true that autism can lead to obsessive attention to detail, I don't think taking care in your work and paying attention to detail is necessarily a sign of autistic behaviour.

You're absolutely spot on saying that finding the combination of qualities is unlikely. I think that's a big part of what makes hiring so difficult though.

Right, it's much more than just that.

Best of luck, however you go about it.
