Read this great article in the New York Times about a man who is looking for ways to use the strengths of people with autism in the workplace! The comments from readers are also worth reading.
He looks at the characteristics of people with autism such as their intense focus, repetitive behavior and strong attention to detail and shows how those characteristics can be strengths in the workplace.
