Last year, Nancy and Jim Richardson had contributed (with an assist from Stacey Fish of SAP) to the Passion series here. They had highlighted the fact that plenty of focus has gone to the autism spectrum disorder in the young in the last couple of decades. However, as they get mature into adults, society has not paid as much attention to their (continued) special needs both in their living and working situations. With Smart Home and other technologies so much more could be done.
Today on the Awareness Day, the Business Chief publication carries an update from Jim.
Read them both and please help out in whatever way you can. Such kids bring a lot of joy to society and as adults they bring unique skills to a number of employers. We can do much better for them as they move through life.
