The View of Autism as an IT Asset by Don Tennant from IT Business Edge
The connection between autism and IT is a simple fact of life that likely comes as no surprise to anyone who has spent a career in, or covering, this field. It’s a fact that begs a couple of intriguing questions: Why is this the case? And should we think of autism as a liability—or as an asset?
In part one of a two-part feature, writer Don Tennant speaks with Dr. Ellis Crasnow, director of STEM³ Academy, on why a relatively high percentage of people with some form of autism pursue careers in IT.
