    This calls to mind a book I read a while back, Speed of Dark by Elizabeth Moon. It discusses not only autism in the workplace at a fictional company that specializes in hiring people on the spectrum, but also explores (as a science fiction novel) how the autistic protagonist deals with the possibility of a "cure".

    It's very interesting to see how at least some of the ideas explored in the book play out in the real world when implemented by a real company. The portrayal in the book is quite different that what is described at Auticon, however.

    Thank you for this article, it was a fascinating read.

    Give me some walls and a heavy door and productivity goes through the roof. Also ban heels while we're at it.
