One student I had was a savant (my sister is one so I know the traits well) He got his PPL in the minimum hours, did everything perfect first time and then went on to fly helicopters in the army.
Most of my top achieving students have been well along the so called "autism spectrum". Which is a gift, not a disability.
Yet there is some jobsworth in Avmed, chasing his KPIs looking for problems that don't exist, unable to provide any statistics at all to say the people on "the spectrum" are a danger to society and shouldn't be allowed to operate machinery. They would have grounded this guy, by far the greatest pilot of all time.
