On: Ask HN: How to manage autistic developer?

[gwbas1c]

I got the impression the OP was looking for tips and anecdotes from other people who've managed autistic people.

I suspect that giving too many details may make it obvious who they are. Perhaps the co-worker reads Hacker News?

Good point about the co-worker reading HN.

Honestly, if the poster is serious about being a professional manager and wants good advice on this, they should reach out to a professional organization that provides resources e.g.:

Using anecdotes from HN as a guide doesn’t seem like a great approach.
