Peter, Eve and Brian work in a small technology company near the beach in Santa Monica, USA, whose work is to test software and to overcome their problems.
At first glance, this state is seen as a company like Los Angeles’s company.
Peter explains that the working environment is ‘silent but fun’ and, especially in particular they do not have any pressure on anyone, while Evan says about their owners, they are “very compassionate.” And understanders. ‘ Brian calls his office ‘unique’.
The autonomy company is counted in a few companies, especially those who are employed only by employers.
Autonomy was first known as Mine Spark, whose founder was Gray Bunny, whose two sons were autistic, and he saw some of his opportunities at work, where his needs could be fulfilled.
He said on the occasion of the recent visit to the BBC company, ‘Both are highly capable and smart and deserve the opportunity to express their ability.’
‘I realized that this blanket had to be done and there was no way except to take any step from me to do it.’
Gray Buenos Aires founded the autonomy
They started this company in 2013 and now it has more than 150 employees. His elder son is also named, and he works in the finance team.
He said that our mission is to give the option to the group who are deprived of rights and their ability is not used in many fields of society and count of autistic people.
Peter has already worked in ‘Norman’ offices, but he did not look normal as other people. Indeed, he described his previous jobs’ experience in a series of BBCs’ Surveyors’.
He told the BBC: ‘It was very complicated to understand all this. I was unable to set up social contacts. ‘
Evan explains how in his previous jobs he was ‘just sitting and listening to a podcast list and eating a lot of food.’
Peter and Aaron
According to the UK’s National Institute of Health, more than 100 people are suffering from autism, but one of them employs less than the quarter.
Many people face the first obstacle or confusion that usually increases due to autism.
Steve Salberman, author of a book entitled “Autorectrics” about Autism’s evolution, says, ‘The trend of keeping people in their jobs is found and autistic people are not like you, they are themselves like themselves.’
‘The work should not be done during the interview, its list is practically the definition of autism. Do not look at it, look at the owner’s eyes, admire yourself. All these tasks are very difficult for autistic people. ‘
Brian
Brian wants to use his computing ability completely, but is delaying applying for jobs in the technology world.
They say: ‘There is a lot of pressure. You have to compete against other people. ‘
They also made some small jobs, including the use of departmental stores or vehicles, they were unable to use their ability and they said that they were not moving forward.
Some companies have introduced other ways instead of traditional interviews. The German software company SAP also provides employment to autistic people and instead of interviewing the job of the job, they give them the opportunity to create a league robot.
Salberman says, “It shows the skill and work to solve problems.”
And the SAP thinks that it is really useful, according to that, autistic people are not recruited by the ‘welfare’ spirit.
In addition to anxiety and deaf, autistic people usually feel difficult in social media.
So if they want to make headphones due to noise in the oxygen, they are available. If they want, they can work in a low-light room too, it is not necessary for them to take a break, and if they are feeling difficult in speaking with their colleagues, they can use the messaging application.
‘If someone feels too much pressure then they can get holidays.’

Gray Bennest says, ‘The case of our employees’ sensitivity is our first priority.’
‘But this means that your client or customer has to look at some things to ensure that the best quality is presented, for which a need to save a project and how to handle the work. ‘
And when it comes to assessing the work of employees, it is agreed that criticism should not be excessive.
Sylberman is not convinced of a separate office because he thinks autistic staff and his neuro-typical colleagues can learn more from each other by working together.
They say ‘look at Bill Gates, which certainly has autistic features. He went on socially and now he is a great human friend.
