[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 352333, member: 3907"] Marg's Man, thanks for posting this. There is a similar program here in my city, but they have not been as successful as they had hoped in placing people on the Autism spectrum in long-term employment. Personally, I believe that they were focusing on the wrong industries. The article you posted mentions IT and Software Testing in particular. I work in IT and have many co-workers who seem more than a little spectrum=ish to me. Technical Writing, Process Design, Quality Assurance all seem to be areas where people with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) can thrive, in addition to the more technical areas. Now you've got me thinking. I wonder where I can go with this... Trinity [/QUOTE]
