Computer Weekly has published an article detailing a Danish company, Specialisterne, that predominantly employs individuals on the autism spectrum.  Consultants from the company have been hired by information technology heavy hitters Microsoft and Computer Science Corporation to work in software testing.  From the Computer Weekly article: 

“The companies found that people with Autistic Spectrum Disorders have a greater attention to detail than average, making them suitable for software testing.”

The Specialisterne website has an English page available detailing the company.  From the site’s main page:

SPECIALISTERNE is a Danish company with 50 consultants (75% with Autism Spectrum Disorder - ASD) plus an additional 15 trainees.

We provide a working environment where it is ‘normal’ to have ASD and where the role of the management and staff is to create the best possible working environment for consultants with ASD.

ASD characteristics are leveraged as a competitive advantage rather than a disadvantage – niches are identified in the business sector where requirements are high on structure, persistency and attention to details. The company competes on fully competitive terms within its market.

Today the consultants of SPECIALISTERNE use their special skills solving tasks as software testing, data entries and several kinds of quality control for large companies like CSC, Oracle, Microsoft, LEGO, KMD and TDC.
