You don't have to be autistic to work here but...

Hi,

Alot of the top IT engineers I have worked with have had major issues with their other kinds of intelligence (especially social).

When I found an article
investigating autism in IT workers I felt strangely vindicated and sad at the same time.

Where I work right now is a haven for IT engineers, and they placed at a large distance from their end customers.

We've definately created a good place for them to work and play to their strengths.

Playing to people's strengths is all part of managing them - but what happens when you take someone so far outside of their comfort area that they freak out?

Just saying "Do your job" doesn't cut it in my book.
