The biggest issue facing aspergers in gaining employment is the social problem. They have to get through the interview process which many companies have an emotional component to it, many managers look for a personal connection which would be hard for an aspergers person to make. Even if the make it through that process, depending on the job they have to work with others, follow instructions and deal when jobs change with little notice. Then there are others who only want to work in whatever is their obesession and are not very flexible. There is a lot of challenges for them to find work. Many of the challenges they have in school translate to the work force.

I don't know what field he is looking for, but there are software companies that work with adults with Aspergers as their main employees. Apiritech near Chicago, IL is an example.
