ILONA:

Can you tell me about your new job?

ALEX:

Oh, yeah. I started working at William Hill about three weeks ago. And I really enjoyed it so far. I've got a team of people I'm working with.

ILONA:

William Hill is the betting?

ALEX:

The bookmakers, yeah.

ILONA:

Bookmakers?

ALEX:

Yeah.

ILONA:

So what do you do with them?

ALEX:

I take bets. And I do that sort of thing, put them on the computer, as well.

ILONA:

And what do you find particularly interesting about it?

ALEX:

I like, you know, all the odds and that. I enjoy having a bit of a bet myself, to be fair. But yeah-- I think it's because there's a lot of maths involved in that. And I like maths.

And that's why I went for it. And also, I also thought, as well, 'cause you're interacting with customers, it will help improve my social skills. And I've told all my colleagues about being autistic and they were fine with it, you know.
