RESUMEN
Nurses on the autism scale, which includes Asperger's syndrome, may struggle to fit in with colleagues and risk being viewed as having a bad attitude. Here, a nurse diagnosed with Asperger's says that her employers did not offer her the support she required. People with autism can make a valuable contribution in the workplace if adjustments are made for their communication difficulties.
