#HR Going beyond the stereotypes: managing employees with Asperger’s | #HR #RRHH Making love and making personal #branding #leadership | Scoop.it

Asperger's syndrome (AS) is a condition occurring in about 1 in 200 of the population.  It lies on the autistic spectrum and until recently has been a condition about which little is known in the employment context.
 

What is interesting about AS is that it is both a disability protected by law, and at the same time is also a diversity, a form of difference. What's even more curious is that you may not easily see these differences, as diversity is most often talked about in terms of the differences we can see - a person's gender, race, ethnic origin and cultural background are usually quite visible.
