Thank you!
I am especially concerned about the legal system.
What if I am in a child custody battle someday? What if I have to defend myself from someone violent and end up in court?
Also, what if I end up applying for a job as a government contractor? I work in IT, and could easily see a great opportunity arise to work as a contractor for the military, FBI, or even just political offices. Most of them require a thorough background check, as you often are required to pass certain security clearances.
Out of those the military may discriminate against you but the others should be okay, you have legal protections in court, however those are often thrown out the window, If you are in a child custody battle I would suggest getting help from lawyers specializing in disability rights law and to be extra prepared to show that autism won't make you a bad parent. I would expect it to make less a difference in a legal trail either way.
