German software giant SAP said it intended to employ hundreds of people globally with autism as software testers and programmers over the next seven years.
The company, which has already launched pilot projects in India and Ireland, said the move aimed to find workers “who think differently”, leading to innovation.
By 2020, one per cent of SAP’s currently 65,000-strong workforce is expected to be affected by autism, a company spokesman told AFP.
