Program tapping the talents of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

[1] Nineteen year old Charlie Stone is a straight A secondary school student and has finished a software design course; but couldn’t get a decent IT job because of ASD.

[2] Thanks to Australia’s first and newest program called Dandelion, people with ASD will be offered with three year training skills employment.

[3] Together with the other selected young workers, Stone will become future test engineers based in an Adelaide hub, who’ll be responsible for scrutinizing software systems before they’ll go into production.
