Why a major tech company is going out of its way to hire employees with autism

It goes out of its way to hire employees with autism. Through its Autism at Work program, SAP aims to have 1% of its workforce have some form of autism, which is characterized in part by difficulty engaging in social interactions. “If you think of somebody who may be on the spectrum [of autism], they a lot of times don’t interview well, and so many times folks might not get that chance to then go to the next step,” SAP North America President Jennifer Morgan said at a panel on disruption Thursday.
