Hiya, I don't have any direct experience, but the Institute of Mathematics has various resources (http://www.ima.org.uk/careers/maths_careers.cfm.html) and there is a link for a maths careers website (http://www.mathscareers.org.uk/). From my experience of working with other institutes, they tend to be very willing to point you in the right direction as well if approached directly.

Best of luck!

I know http://zenaeverett.com/ as a mother of one of my children's nursery friends rather than professionally but I do think she might be what you're looking for. She's a very thoughtful person and I'm sure she would be able to manage your son's particular needs.

Has he tried the Cambridge careers service? http://www.careers.cam.ac.uk/ They have some very good advisers and can be accessed indefinitely by alumni.

Sounds like a clever chap! How about further study at somewhere like Imperial, doing an applied maths PhD:

Or looking for jobs as an actuary in the City?

The National Autistic Society gave a talk at my workplace about the work they do to support people with autism in securing a job. They also supported people in work and their employers on an ongoing basis. Typical jobs included working in banks / the city / government doing work involving understanding of complex systems or data management. The Society rep said he had developed good links with employers who valued highly the reliability, commitment and knowledge of complex systems of people with autism. Maybe it would be worth contacting the Society for advice?

I'm happy to speak to him and help him clarify next steps. I mainly support mid-level/senior-level professionals but I have extensive recruitment (graduate, consultancy & in-house) experience so can provide some complimentary guidance/direction/recommendations.
