Rethinking Autism in the Workplace Australia needs to “rethink” autism in the workplace, according to a not-for-profit disability employment organisation, involved in a world-first initiative to employ autistic adults in specialist animal care roles.

Nice to see this initiative. My daughter loves animals.

Not for profit unfortunately needs a lot of community support so hopefully more people get behind it (in terms of financial support)
