A crazy stat is that 85% of autistic college grads are unemployed. Being "normal" really is the most important thing in life to fit in.

The crazy part is that having autistic tendencies correlated to some level of being great at looking at realities and getting work done.

Makes me think I should start a company focusing on recruiting in that community.

You wouldn't be the first. In fact, along with certain foreign hires, I'll bet this is a play a lot of companies are keeping close to their chest.

Seems like there's a competitive advantage for some company to make room for people who are not neurotypical. Though I wonder what that would look like.
