I think the depiction of autism is fairly good. The use of art to show her getting overwhelmed with choices and then picking one is really nice. I like how we got subtle hints that he's got ADHD before (for instance he's late to get to work and was even late leaving - he gets easily distracted). I think she got off light with her email though, I think that would cause a lot more trouble than they depict, and I think people are maybe a little too considerate of her considering that she's kept her autism secret. This feels more like a oneshot than a first chapter.

A few things to think about:
  • She was polite
  • They have probably noticed that she can take some stuff too literally.
  • They were out drinking
  • The client probably already knew the demands was really hard to meet, and felt bad.
  • The chief probably knows she has some type of ASD but not what or which degree

is this good depiction of autism and adhd or nah
I have ADHD, and I’ve known people with autism because my mother is a teacher—so yes, there really are things that are quite representative of autism and ADHD.

In fact, the protagonist reminds me of myself because of what he says, and also because I work in an office too.

Wow now I know the difference between autism and ADHD.
It can be a fine line, there is a lot of overlap.

I personally have both Autism (Asperger Syndrome) and ADD (no major hyperactivity) so I can recognize a lot of traits in both characters in myself.

I do zone out a lot and get hyperfixated on work but I'm also punctual because of that same obsessivness.

I had a lot of issues relating to others and reading social cues as a kid but have been able to learn to understand them as I matured.

I have specialized interests I can get entirely lost in to the point of bodily issues (not using the bathroom, eating, drinking, sleeping, etc)

All of these can be used to give one or the other diagnoses. Getting one is just a question of "Does this qualified doctor believe you meet enough criteria on their secret list?"
