Employers Take Heed: You're Ignorant!

Wonderful article by Fiona MacLeod called "'Ignorant' Employers Missing Out" talks about employers discriminating against people with autism.  It says that employers are wary of hiring people with the condition because they fear the unknown.  Simply said, the employers don't know in fact that people with Asperger's Syndrome can be punctual, don't gossip and don't engage in office politics.  They can be the perfect employees.

The National Autistic Society Scotland surveyed 46 percent of employment advisers and learned from them that the employers are ignorant of the condition.
