[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]...back to the original question... This is a conversation long overdue, and I'm grateful it's happening. I guess Demore is autism's "canary in the coal mine".[/quote] Most big companies give diversity training to everyone. Autistic people might need additional training or a different type of training.[/quote] There was a study (I wish I could link it, i will try to find it) that showed that instead of "changing autistic people" they trained the staff to understand how to communicate with autistic people. [/quote] That might have helped Damore. I suspect that HR didn't respond because they didn't know how to respond. But if they explained why they weren't doing things his way, and also potential consequences for expressing views the way they did, he might still be working there. They also could have provided him with a broader perspective on the research regarding gender difference in the work place.[/quote]
