The National Institute of Health (NIH) estimates that around 1.5% of the children in the US, or roughly one in 68, suffer from Autism Stress Disorder (ASD). Since ASD is a neuro developmental disorder, people who have it do not see or react to the world around them like most others.
When children with ASD grow up into adults and join the workforce, they could land into problems because they could be mistaken in a number of ways. Those who don’t understand ASD and mishandle it could:
o Consider a meltdown as aggression, hurting or killing someone as a result
o Botch a situation involving a colleague with ASD, which may negatively impact their employment
o Give the opportunity for a legal tangle for the organization.
Given all these possibilities, it makes sense to equip oneself with more knowledge of how to handle an ASD-affected employee at the workplace. The more the knowledge one has; the more civilized the interaction with the ASD colleague will be.
