夏说英语新闻晨读 第503期:一家雇佣自闭症患者的公司（在线收听）

 本期内容：

Auticon, previously known as Mindspark, is one of only a handful of companies that cater exclusively for employees who are on the autistic spectrum. It was founded by Gray Benoist who, as the father of two autistic sons, saw few options in the workplace that could cater for their needs. "I felt that the gap had to be filled and there was no other way to fill it than by taking action myself,” he said. Autism affects more than one in 100 people according to the UK's National Autistic Society, but fewer than a quarter of these will go on to full-time employment.
