| I wonder whether you'd needed to tell people that you're dating right away that you're on the autistic spectrum at all, I'm not saying you don't ever, do you think you gave people a chance to see whether they were compatible with you in the ways that might matter, or that what they saw in you in the... |

| Just a wee update on my own journey, I never did get involved with SAP as there would've been some considerable cost to relocation which I wasn't up to at the time, or indeed with Specialisterne UK (they've changed their name to the English words 'The Specialists' when I last noticed) I did get a co... |

| Oh right, Yeah there might not be anything on the go at the moment, but I did have a look at their website http://uk.specialisterne.com/ just there and it does say "We are currently restructuring in the UK. Therefore, there are no available positions at the moment. Future positions in Specialis... |

| Hi there, Yes I can understand why many people on the spectrum would feel anxious about working in busy places with lots of non-autistic people, after all we've been doing it all the time all our lives with variable results :( However employment can be such an empowering and life enriching experienc... |

| Hello there SocOfAutism, I can say that I had a phone interview from 2 managers at SAP today, and they asked me about my experience and aspirations, they are looking to next recruit in the new year and I've got some topics I can work on in the area of Software Quality Assurance and Automated testing... |

| Yet another wee update, I've been talking to Specialisterne Ireland, and they've put me forward to SAP, and I've to get an interview with them regarding IT work while being supported by Specialisterne Ireland. This was actually proposed at the time when Specialisterne Scotland went bust in Sept 2012... |

| From my own knowledge and experience, I don't 'get' any sense other than the fact that Specialisterne Denmark, successfully managed to create a 'For profit' business in Denmark, which employed with about 70% of the workforce who were 'diagnosed' as being on the autistic spectrum, enough to produce a... |

| There are controversies surrounding the Specialisterne Model, both from a business perspective as well as from a disability awareness and support point of view. The Dandelion model is a simple version (perhaps too simple) of a diversity in the workplace/society ideal, and the use of the robots is es... |

| I sort of know this one, people can be very closed minded, comparing yourself to genuises can only mean to some people that you think that you are as genuis as them, which of course sounds like you are a raving narcissist, lol. Very narrow minded and presumptous. If theyd taken the time to ask you w... |
