Summary 6/1

The article by Austin and Pasino focuses on the problem that many people with neurological conditions are not well represented in the workforce. However they should because these people often show skills such as pattern recognition, great memory and high level mathematics that people without these conditions sometimes lack. The cause of all this is because organizations often in their hiring process disregard these skills and put a greater emphasis on the things that may be harder for these individuals. The behaviors of a lot of neurodiverse people may run counter to what most companies look for in an employee. While some companies have implemented some type of change in their hiring process to make it easier for these individuals to get hired, many more companies should follow and use the skills of these people to their advantage. In the long run it will help the company and individual achieve goals that they might not have thought would be possible.
