About Autism Hangout FEATURE PROGRAMS:

 

FEATURE PROGRAMS are a series of ongoing, continually updated, autism topics (i.e. "Key Learnings," "Beyond the Headlines", "Moving Out" or Featured Guests).

 

They are prepared by Autism Hangout Staff Reporters. We’ll keep on top of trends in the news as well as Autism Hangout’s Discussion Forums so you can quickly find the latest, current thinking on the topics and challenges that we face daily.

 

All Feature Programs have links to threads in the Discussion Forum (if you'd care to share your experience or insights with others).

"Autism and Employment" - An "Autism in the Workplace - Job Success!" Update


I had the good fortune of attending a business conference sponsored by the Autism Society of MN (AuSM) last night. Temple spoke, but to me the most inspiring talks were by representatives of Best Buy, 3M and Cargill. All three companies are now looking for and hiring people on the spectrum for their unique strengths and values. Based on their success stories, clearly it's paying off.


Hopefully, this "good news" will be heard by the HR departments of any business needing reliable, honest, intelligent, skilled employees.


Spread the word!

Meet Jasper Steed - Another "Autism in the Workplace - Job Success!" Story

Meet Jasper Steed - Another "Autism in the Workplace - Job Success!" Story Jasper Steed is a business and web whiz. He builds sites around special interests. So we could easily add “social networking” to his online skills. But beyond helping others help themselves to free stuff (jaksfreestuff.net) and assembling games for gaming arcades (speedysarcade.net), Jasper is giving back to others on the spectrum with Autism Smiles (autismsmilesllc.webs.com). The non-profit's primary focus is the distribution of GPS devices as well as educational tools and programs to protect and enable people with autism. Meet a talented, compassionate, incredible human being... Jasper Steed. More info at: www.autismsmilesllc.webs.com
