Will has several university degrees, he also has autism - can he get a job after a decade out of work?  He's putting his faith in his new job coach Rosa, who has ADHD and is evangelical about what she calls "neuro-Ds" - people with neurodiversity - and what they have to offer employers. Can she help Will  break out of his rut, change how he feels about himself, and fulfil his potential? And should his predicament make us rethink the barriers that recruitment throws up for those of us who think differently?
