AutLabs: Tackling the Great Employment Issue

If you’ve been following Logan’s column, you’re probably aware of some challenges that those of us on the spectrum face in the workplace.  I’d be surprised if anyone with Aspergers hasn’t had more than their fair share of frustration with coworkers and even left a job (either voluntarily or not) due to spectrum-related issues.  According to one common statistic, 4 out of 5 adults with autism are unemployed.

Ike from Autelligent Laboratories has been there, done that, and decided he’s had enough of feeling helpless.  So he’s doing something about it.

He’s started AutLabs, a company built around the inclusion of employees on the spectrum.  Why not take advantage of the amazing gifts we have and create an work environment that fosters growth rather than opression?
