  • People are seeing the rise of autism, says Ari Ne'eman, president of the Autistic Self Advocacy Network in Washington DC and a member of the US National Council on Disability. Indeed, while conditions like autism have historically hindered jobseekers, several global companies have now caught on to the idea of utilizing the particular skill set this section of society can offer. German software giant SAP announced that it will employ 650 people with autism by 2020. Here, Hodson discusses how global corporations are headhunting people with autism to deliver a competitive advantage over their vials.
