I would like to know what other people think.
Employers are often given information on the 'positives' of employing someone with Asperger's, such as the following:
Eye for detail
Never late for work
Always on time
Few, if any, days off sick
However, not all people with Asperger's syndrome will exhibit these traits, for a variety of reasons. Some people with AS might have problems with time keeping, and so will struggle to arrive at work on time, particularly if they also have ADHD and Dyspraxic traits. Or they could be late because of severe anxiety, and this could lead to many off sick days as well.
The eye for detail can be context specific, so someone with AS might know every single detail of their special interest but struggle with the details of what they are supposed to do at work.
Surely it is better for the employer to learn about the individual with AS than for employers to be given generic lists that often don't match reality.
