Currently, worldwide statistics indicate that autism can occur in one out of every 100 children born, so developing awareness of the autism spectrum is very important. How do we approach employing neuro-atypical people?<\/strong>\u202fWe answered this question on June 17 at the online #ASpirujemy conference!<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

The aim of the conference was to present the benefits of working with neuro-atypical people, to highlight what characteristics they have, when they can be more effective employees than typical people, and what difficulties we face in these circumstances.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

After all, everyone would like to find a place that is attractive to them, where they can pursue their passions or the goals they have set for themselves in life. One of them is certainly a job that brings not only financial benefits, but also develops certain skills, as well as experience. Taking the above into account, a very important aspect is the possibility of getting a job for people with disabilities, or in this case, neuro-atypical people.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

The #ASpirujemy conference we organized became a place where guests could learn what it is like to work with neuro-atypical people and hear what such people need in the workplace.\u00a0In addition, participants listened to graduates of our project who talked about what is most important to them.\u00a0The topic of employing people on the autism spectrum was covered in three different panels by experts, therapists, and people experienced in working with people on the spectrum.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

We would like to thank our speakers for coming to the conference, because of them it became even more professional.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

The speakers at our conference were:\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

Panel I – What is it like to AS-pire to achieve great things?\u00a0A discussion devoted to the business benefits of hiring neuro-atypical people.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n
