This article was shared this morning in a tech group I'm a member of on LinkedIn. It is about a company in Denmark who hires only people on the Autism spectrum and then finds work for them - along with coaches and support team to help them and employers navigate the conflicts. My favorite quote was about this very issues, "I will not ask him to be more polite. He wouldn't understand the concept of social dishonesty, so his coworkers are just going to have to deal with it."

It is an excellent article.

La Texican - just read the link you provided. Looks like a good book - I'm off to see if my library offers the ebook version. Thanks!
