'Being different is a superpower.'
Greta Thunberg is facing attacks over her Asperger’s, but companies are keen to hire people on the autism spectrum.
Fox News host Laura Ingraham later likened her to the children from the film adaptation of Stephen King’s “Children of the Corn.” ‘Autistic employees bring a unique perspective to a workplace, and can be highly focused and productive in ways that their neurotypical peers are not.’ —Marcia Scheiner, the president and founder of Integrate Autism Employment Advisors She spoke to the perks of neurodiversity, or the idea that neurological differences are human variations rather than diseases to be cured. “That makes you different; that makes you think differently,” Thunberg said.
About one in 59 children has autism spectrum disorder, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The prevalence could be as high as one in 40, according to an estimate published in December by the journal Pediatrics. Integrate has worked with employers including Warner Bros., Prudential PRU, +0.94%, Deutsche Bank DB, +0.20% and JPMorgan Chase JPM, +0.77%, Scheiner said.
