During my career I've learned there's a limit to the autism a software team can have. We let a "neurodivergent" go about a year ago. I'm probably some sort of an aspie myself with my misophonia and aversion to certain artificial lights and stuff, but this guy was too much even for me. I'd say roughly 70% of my workmates are on some sort of a spectrum, but we can still collectively tell when someone is too "divergent". Must be some sort of a collective evolutionary trait. I don't know what the correct term is, but he took things way too literally, and because he was so shy and didn't share anything about his private life, his quirks didn't win us over the way they might have if he would've shared more. I feel bad for him, but what can you do? He had a state-subsidized assistant with him at his job interview and everything, so I know he won't fall through the safety net here. It's sad to see someone get the boot for being a slightly exaggerated version of a pretty average person in this field, but it just didn't work.
There was also this problem with him that he didn't read the name plates at our desks. You came to work a bit late and noticed he was sitting at your desk that had a paper with your name printed on it. Oh and one time he thought he had his headphones in, and we could hear he listens to anime while working. He himself didn't notice the sound was coming from his laptop's speakers instead of his headphones, so someone had to tell him. I myself had the Moomin soundtrack playing in my headphones at that time, so I didn't judge.

Obrigado, I'm glad you liked it! 
And, yeah, I had actually been thinking about making a thread about him for over a year now, and I probably spent six or seven months tweaking this post until it felt right. But I worried a whole thread might draw too much attention to him, or that it might come across as too self-congratulatory (like, "look how great he was to me!"). Worse yet, I didn’t want to seem undeserving of his kindness as if it were a competition — he bought me a special edition comic book and even got into MIDI controllers for my sake, while I was just skimming Wikipedia to keep up with his interests.
In the end, posting it here in the random thread felt like a good middle ground: a way to share an upbeat message without overdoing it.

I’ve hit peak efficiency. I managed to brush my teeth, piss, and apply shampoo all at once while in the shower. I can only dream of what I could do with an extra arm.

A pneumatic fleshlight, you say?

That’s irrelevant because you don’t cum and piss at the same time, idiot.
