Day 17: Accommodations

On Tuesday I spent an hour speaking to local colleagues about autism in Poughkeepsie. About 50-60 people showed up, and I got a lot of great questions that helped de-mystify the topic of working with autistic people. 

I am thinking about my colleagues in Lansing when I hear about the work they are doing to make their new hires fit in. They are working very hard to make this successful. I hope their lessons aid further efforts in other IBM sites. HR has asked us to prepare information on local agencies and non profits in all 50 states to help hiring managers in the future.
So, I am kinda late and taking the easy way out on this one : )
