Well, I think, one of the best things you can do if you're going to work from home is, if you can afford it, see if you can get a place that has more than one bedroom. And, even better, if you're mobile, if you can get say, a three bedroom townhouse that has a bedroom downstairs and two upstairs, so that way, you can turn the downstairs bedroom into an office, and you can have the upstairs bedroom for sleep.

As for being isolated, well, you can be isolated in a room full of people and content by yourself. You need the right people around you.

I think that for families, hybrid work should be the go, as I believe that a woman shouldn't stay home and look after kids because she HAS to, she should stay home and look after kids because she WANTS to. And I think, if, say, a woman is a doctor and her husband is in finance, if her husband works three days a week in the office and two days a week from home, the woman should be able to go to work on those days if she wants to.

I do believe also, that autistic people do, I know I do, have routines whereby one day is a set day for something. I remember, two occasions. The first was in November, 1979, as every Sunday we used to go and see my maternal grandparents, but one Sunday, we had to go and see my paternal grandparents because it was my father's youngest sister's 21st Birthday, but I couldn't understand why. The next occasion was April 24, 1988, which was a Sunday, and I always believed that Sunday was the day of rest, even when I was 13, and the day of a long lie in. I used to get annoyed because my brother would want my parents to hire the tennis courts for 7am, and I would secretly hope that my mother would ring up and they'd say. "Sorry, but they're booked." But on this particular day, my brother got up and was noisily making breakfast for the family at 6:30am, and I thought, "What?!" Sunday was the day when you didn't get up before 8am.
