His clock is ticking because he’d either have to show he’s still unfit for the job in a couple months or be forced back into a vicious cycle (of failing jobs he can’t handle due to autism).

All I can say is leave IT if all your choices are freelancing and starting your own IT business.

IT contracting is a race to the bottom for all but the most naturally suited and heavily networked individuals.
