Many people already pointed out that you need to say what the issues are.
I want to point out something else... Your headline is "How to manage autistic developer?". But your body text is about a subordinate who presents issues. Being autistic doesn't imply presenting issues. And we don't want to accidentally imply that it does.
One thing we can ask is how in general to better work with someone who's autistic. People can respond with very vague generalities that might or might not apply to an individual-- and which also apply to a lot of non-autistic people. That seems good to add to our toolkits/awarenesses, so long as we don't assume too much about any person.
Another thing we can ask is about specific difficulties working with someone. Adding that the person might be autistic might help nudge towards the right solutions more quickly, though that bit of info might turn out to be irrelevant. All of us can improve at many things.
