Businesses are beginning to wake up to the benefits of employing people on the autistic spectrum; German software giant SAP recently announced that it plans to recruit more people with autism because of their ability to ‘think differently and spark innovation’. Then there is the successful digital design and programming startup, Hao2,run exclusively by people on the autistic spectrum. There are many thousands more businesses benefiting from the input of neuro-untypical employees. Inspired? Two FREE Breakfast Seminars are being run to spread the word to employers about how people on the autism spectrum can be a great asset to your business. The events are being organised by The Greater Manchester Autism Consortium and the National Autistic Society.
