Autistic adults in the workplace

Hello! I hope this is okay to post...I am an autism researcher doing some consulting work for a company that is seeking to make a training video about embracing neurodiversity in the workplace. As my interest/focus is on autism, including a discussion of how to best support autistic employees is very important to me. I want to ensure that the materials and advice I've compiled so far includes the perspectives, concerns, and experiences of autistic adults who themselves are in the workplace - after all, these are the people who would know best what sort of support is needed! So, I wanted to ask: if you are an autistic adult who works in an office environment, what do you wish your employers knew? How can they best support you? What do you wish your coworkers knew? Any and all information is helpful about your own experiences!

Also, if anyone is particularly passionate about this, I'd love to discuss more and would be happy to connect via email. 

Thanks very much for any help!
