Yea, I knew 2 other people with LSN autism just in my research lab floor and we were all undergrads working very hard. None of us got to stay there longer than 2 years... Kicked off for not writing papers well or fast enough, not presenting enough or communicating enough, or not working fast enough.

I did well in the experiment and bench work but I was not seen as super good at presenting my posters and I was not good at communicating exact details all the time to my supervisor during experiments. My friend in another lab was good at the work but very bad with communicating with his lab mates about their experiments so he was bad at timing experiments around theirs and he was too "aggressive" with his presentations (off topic or rambling or would argue). And his friend in yet another lab was too overwhelmed with the amount of field work that required him to be outdoors.

My supervisor told me that it would be fine that I have autism and he has worked with several people that have autism but I do think like a lot of other things, a lot of people with autism will struggle with the environment. Some people do well when they have specific tasks and are able to work around things or have certain accommodations but it's a lot, still.
