Thank you,Lucy.Data entry is one option that children with autism can do.As they do not get any offers , they sit idle without any work.Will greatly appreciate it if you can take up the cause.

Hi Viji, I have reading your blogs for a while now. I came across this article in Forbes India. You might want to share it with your friends. It was very heartening to see that there is a future for children on the spectrum. http://forbesindia.com/article/my-learnings/how-autistics-triumphed-at-sap-labs/33945/1
