EMPLOYERS HIRE AUTISM!
Karen L. Simmons
Globally known as autism leader for connecting parents, professionals, educators and autistic people with tools that support them
Autism is a big challenge in the workplace as employers many times don't understand or take the time to weigh in the subtle and not so subtle gifts, strengths and challenges people on the spectrum are all about. If they only knew how to harness their abilities like being on time, drilling down and getting the task at hand done, and being loyal to one employer, more employers would hire people with autism. Weigh in the fact that grants are available to hire people on the spectrum and you will soon see have a recipe for success to achieve a great return on investment ROI for people with autism. Of course you may need a few neurotypicals on the front line to deal with the social aspects of business.
