The Autism News | English


Mr Thorkil Sonne, a Danish pro, was shattered, like any other parent, when his three-year-old son was diagnosed for autism, a neurological disorder that makes people incapable of mingling with others.

But unlike other parents, he quickly realised the positives of an autistic child. Their ability to grasp things and perfectly execute certain functions attracted him. He quit his job to become a social entrepreneur to form Specialisterne (Specialist), an IT consulting based out of Denmark that mostly recruits people with autism.

Though they are born with certain physical and mental disadvantages, these people could deliver outsourcing jobs much faster and more efficiently than normal employees. They excel in, say, testing tools, because they are extremely good at following structures and repeat functions. You change pattern or place of work they would feel uncomfortable.
