UN Advocates for Employing People on the Spectrum

On 2 April 2015 
From United Nations website
2015 Theme: Employment: The Autism Advantage

The United Nations declared April 2 as World Autism Awareness Day in 2007 and their 2015 theme for the day focused on the advantages to companies of employing people on the autism spectrum.


"Research suggests that employers are missing out on abilities that that people on the autism spectrum have in greater abundance than “neurotypical” workers do – such as, heightened abilities in pattern recognition and logical reasoning, as well as a greater attention to detail."
