> Many developers go freelance thinking that they will be able to do what they love without having to deal with autistic colleagues and managers

Hang on... what is it that makes "having to deal with autistic colleagues and managers" so bad that it's the only example reason you give for going freelance?

My primary reason for going freelance is that I'm in control of my days off. Everytime I'm employed, I worry if I'll have enough vacation days to take two weeks off around Christmas. As a freelancer, I have as many days off as I want. That, and all my compensation being in money, adds up to a lot less bureaucracy for me. (And I have an accountant do my taxes for me.)
