Court Rules Gym Atmosphere More Important Than Autistic Employee's Complaints

An autistic employee, Cirian Saunders, expressed feeling overwhelmed by the atmosphere at Peloton gym in London.

Saunders works as an assistant at the gym, which streams international sports classes online to seven million customers worldwide.
