Symmetry Electronics in Hawthorne, CA is actively seeking out individuals on the Autism Spectrum for employment according to an article in the Wall Street Journal. Symmetry has partnered with Focus on All Child Therapies (FACT) to bring awareness and education to there existing employees on the Autism Spectrum.
FACT then helps match potential autistic candidates with jobs for Symmetry and other companies. According to Symmetry CEO Gil Zaharoni “The employees that we hired as a result are extremely talented and bright individuals and have become valuable assets to Symmetry.”
I think this is a great movement and can offer a lot of hope and resouces to those individuals with Atusim as well as companies who wish to be able to tap the unique gifts people on the Autism Spectrum have.
