> For evidence of this, light autists often make very effective managers. This idea is turning my world upside down, having avoided management roles my whole career yet ending up “managing” a small team of like minded experienced engineers despite actively avoiding the formal title. I put it in quotes because I don’t feel like I manage them in any way other than they technically report to me. I could tell them what to do but have only done so twice in 8 years. We chat once a week about whatever we feel like chatting about. Please could you share any context or insight into this idea so I can understand more deeply?
