People in the autistics spectrum have different wiring, which is oftentimes better than a person with an average or even high IQ. For some tech companies then, hiring or accepting apprentices from this group of people is a great way to increase and improve sales, production, and marketing. Autistic people are great thinkers and workers.
People who have autism have exceptional focus and memory and then great attention to detail. They also have great devotion to a topic that is of their own interest, studying so intently on every part of it until everything is mastered. Michael Barton, a author of a book about Autism, says in ALPHR that Autistic people are usually rejected because of social bias but in reality, they are very competitive.
CDC reports that "About 1 in 68 children has been identified with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) according to estimates from CDC's Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (ADDM) Network." This means that there are many of them who can be a great addition to any company. From 2000 to 2012, the rate of autism has increase to almost 50 percent.
There is a very thin line that divides intellectual disability and superiority for autism. People in this spectrum disorder (if you may call it that way) are special and should not be rejected but be given high regard in the society instead. Most of them think out of the box and can give the best ideas possible. People with autism are among the best workers around, as BBC reports.
There are a number of great companies who hire people with autism and they do not regret it. Some of these nonPareil Institute, Aspiritech, Nobis Works, Exceptional Minds, Microsoft, Walgreen, Towers Watsons, HP Australia, and Vodafone.
People in the autism spectrum are not to be underestimated. They have wirings that no one can fully understand. They process things differently and could be blessings to more and more companies because of their specialness.
