Business Complex
Today, many businesses thrive as a result of adapting work environments to help people with ASD be productive and successful employees. Matching the skills and interests of these highly-motivated individuals often translates into productivity, commitment, and loyalty. Commonly, employees with ASD demonstrate consistency in job performance, focused attention, emphasis to detail, ability to repeat tasks, and a dedication to their responsibilities. But, these employees may have challenges with such things as social interaction, communication, and sensory processing. Use the tools and resources in the Business Complex to help create more welcoming and inclusive environments and benefit from the wide range of talents of employees with ASD.
