Specialisterne (Danish for ‘Specialists’) seeks to harness strengths that many people with Autism Spectrum Disorders possess - good attention to fine details, precision, and high tolerance for repetitive tasks. Their consultants bring the joy of work into areas where it is often missing.
As listed in Temple Grandin’s book, The Way I See It: A Personal Look at Autism & Asperger’s, one of the things that Specialisterne does not tolerate is anger where equipment is damaged or other people are hit. In return, the consultants are provided with a work environment where sensory distractions are minimized and they do not have to deal with difficult bosses and complex social situations.
