Embrace the potential of Autism | Lars Johansson-Kjellerød | TEDxArendal

Social entrepreneurship and social innovation are in demand and essential to make the world spin around more smoothly. They extend and strengthen civil society. Lars has changed what traditional policy has been able to do by creating profitable businesses in new and ingenious ways. In his talk from TEDxArendal - he tells you about his company that mainly hires people with Asperger syndrome.
As a former broker manager Lars got bored with the financial sector and started his own IT company where he employs only people with Asperger syndrome or autism. Where few leaders dare to hire outside the norm, Lars Johansson-Kjellerød has made it his business idea.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

@@MasonStormSunny some fields only allows specialists who are certified such by people in systems that either haven't caught up and/or continue to justify bad (sometimes harmful) behaviors/beliefs/ethics making it extremely difficult if not impossible for the people who would be most beneficial to as a specialist within that area of the field to be recognized, accepted, and properly supported

I have Asperger's syndrome. My intelligence is pretty high - 156 points in the Cattell scale which places me in the top 1% of the population. I belong to Mensa. I consider myself truly vastly superior to other normal people in certain aspects - attention to details, analytical thinking, ability to solve technical problems. However, my social abilities are very poor. Why should I care about that if I the world is so interesting? Do I regret that I have that syndrome? Absolutely no. I treat it as my blessing. I feel really special thanks to that. Anyway, I have a wife and a child. I lead a pretty normal life. It's all about understanding of your partner - your strengths and limitations should be known. Speak about them loudly.

This has helped me to understand the potential of people with autism. I am having a meeting at my 13-year-old grandson's school today to get some help for him which up to now has been ignored by the education system who I understand want to put him in a special needs school because he does not fit the school stereotype pupil. It would be great to find out what his strengths are and extend him. I will comment further after the meeting

[@danielmoore4024]

Evan Beckwith, I have Asperger's myself, make sure your grandson isn't so distracted by his difficulties. I assume you know autistic people perceive the world in a different way, by my perspective there's not a big difference between autistic people and nonautistic people. Both have difficulties and both need support with their difficulties. There's also a lot of myths and falsehood online regarding Autism. For example, individuals with Autism don't really have social deficits, autistic and nonautistic people can socialize equally well, the difficulty is to do with who they socialize with. Through my experiences I came to see autistic people have one rule book about how to socialize, but nonautistic have a different socializing rule book. It's the mismatches between the two books that cause the difficulty. One of the rules in the autistic rule book is to talk about what we're interested in, talking about his interests is part of an autistic person's wellbeing, it can prevent the brain overstimulating so they don't get overloaded by what's happening around them. Ask people to listen for what your grandson talks about the most, we like talking about what we're interested in for a pretty wide length of time.

I love the medical aspects of the human body. Ever since I was four, I was reading anatomy books, Drawing the blood stream and various body cells. I loved going to the doctors, specialists and medical professionals; who were immersed in such learning and achieving amazing breakthroughs within their experiences within the vast spectrum of scientific discoveries on all fronts. I would ask many questions and be very thankful to have learned from them (even if it was just a little bit of information.) I would watch various medical documentaries and programs detailing anatomy, physiology, biology and pathologies of the human body under various conditions, injuries, diseases and unexpected changes. The soring highs of a successful heart transplant patient.. able to finally run around and live life to the fullest; to the unfair lows of of a person who had battled so very bravely in the face of cancer... But who never did let said diagnosis define them indefinitely as a different person. I am now studying to become a AIN... and I am finding most of the units easy as it sparks the retained information from my earlier years of being ''obsessively" captivated by Human anatomy... and all it's systems. It is this obsessiveness.. and the longing to learn more about the vast pool of possibilities to ensure that the health of humanity expands outwardly for the better... that is assuring me, that even though I may not be socially able all the time? I can still care for people who need it... and perform my duty of care to all... by my logical thinking, my attention to detail... and my ability to not see ''Normal.'' My disability...? Aspergers..... is an ability!!

@Syd Barger it is not difficult to be nice, be empathetic and be willing to assist anyone to the best of your abilities when they need help. Most people with autism and similar disabilities actually put in more of an effort into providing such needs through actions than those who don't have any disability. Why? Because we know how cruel and horrible most of the people in this world can be. I've lost faith in many people because they see only the diagnosis of the disability and not the soul standing right in front of them coming to grips with what it could spell for their futures.

The diversity thing started years ago and its getting worse. It seems they are pushing for places to be diverse while still maintaining their standards and numbers (like schools, college, med school, grad school, etc).

I've been doing software testing for the past few years myself. Before my diagnosis not too long ago, during the testing of the software, I would reach levels of focus that were so intense, it freaked me out. I worked 14 hrs some days and I wouldn't even notice the time. I was so obsessed with the particular work I was doing at the time that I would walk to my car late at night running the problem in my head over and over. I just couldn't let go. Then this led to burnout, and I've had no choice but to cool it down and keep myself in check just for my own health and sanity. I try to keep it under control now.

[@mememe733]

Instead of finding work perhaps he can create a job for himself. If he knows what he loves to do, what he’s passionate about and how he could use that in a job situation, like what would he feel would be a job he would like to do, and that he knows he could do well. What environment will he need in order to perform this job so he can be satisfied with his efforts? Then start thinking, where (company, field e.g) would his skills be advantageous to an employer? Next step is contacting a potential employer and convince him/her/them that they need him to perform that job for them. How would they benefit from employing him? What assets can he bring? Basically convince them that here is an employee they can’t afford to turn down, even if they have to create a new position specifically for him. Many actors end up with a role that wasn’t even in the original script, but because the instructor/writer or whoever hire actors saw something special in them, they end up creating a role that fits that person perfectly. An example of that is the curly haired boy in “stranger things” Does he like hacking? There are so many places that need good hackers now a days.

That is so me, I mean Aspie me. As a scientist and innovator, I owe my little bit of success to that: seeing the detail, seeing what others don't see. And it's so strange sometimes. I get these ideas, hopefully good ideas, then demonstrate that they work. Then people ask: but that's so easy, easy to copy, why is it so special? Well, I don't know, I mean, people have been looking at that problem for years, and never thought about that. Why they don't see what I see, I really don't know. And then, of course, they steal your idea and make money with it. Because that's what NT people are obsessed with, making money, especially if they don't have to work for it. And as an Aspie, I really don't care about it. But they don't realize that if they hired me instead, or invest in my company, they would have all the future ideas that I haven't had yet. People seem to think that if you had a good idea, it's just luck, and it will never happen again. Because they don't know what it is to be like that, they look at things the way I do, or other Aspies do.

I felt that. The long pauses were awkward and I was like "Keep going". Then I was like "Maybe he's a little nervous and is trying to organize his thoughts". My curiosity far outweighed my impatience. While the pauses were annoying and agonizing, it was worth it for me. I mean, I'm no techno wizard person because that's not my passion, though I'm curious about it. I deal with poetry and writing, which is my main focus and passion. Right now, I'm thinking, "How can I word this comment better?" to "You know what? Who cares? You don't have to be perfect all the time at something you love, as long as you enjoy doing it, unless it's a job so you have to try." I don't care much how I write on this comment/reply, because it is not my job, and I am not writing a novel or poem. It's simply to get thoughts out in an efficient way, rather than a creative way. I'm very analytical with my thoughts and emotions, the thoughts that provoke emotions, and the emotions that provoke thoughts.

Charline Martinez, I have Asperger's myself and have been studying it for over 20 years, including the difference in our brains and where these thinking patterns and gifts come from. The main area of the brain affected is the occipital lobes at the back, the variation makes our brains work in a systematic way. Now considering how autistic people behave makes a good explanation. • Routines • Patterns • Consistency • Uncomfortable with changes • Detail Orientation All these traits are principles of a system. Autistic people are best at; • IT • Architecture • Mathematics • Music • Accountants and other things down those lines, as you can see, all these activities work with structure and a system. It's even hypophisised that 90% of technology came from minds of people on The Autism Spectrum, all technology is systematic.

Reading all the comments makes me think I have as Berger's

I have trouble that he is not naming any names, and describing everybody as "people with Asperger's" as if everybody is the same. And, trust me, not every person with Aspergers is good at software testing.

Can't stand modern work environments within the offices. Always games, lies and politicking.

I wish I was the smart autistic ( the one's who are smart in school) I'm such a slow Learner.

If I may interject the following information: you need to figure out how you learn and be aware of how the learning materials are being presented. If these two don't match its the same as being taught science in a different language. You are forced to translate everything. Just my two cents but for the visual learners courses should be taught in videos.....Education is very cookie cutter and they expect everyone to adapt.

Always remember to repent of your sins (sin is transgression of YAHUAH The Father In Heaven’s LAW: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, & Deuteronomy) And Have Belief On Yahusha The Messiah. HE Died and Rose three days later so that you can be forgiven of your sins! HE Loves you! Come to HIM!🙂🙂

Where does this guy get his numbers from? Aspergers is hardly an issue, how about helping those with more severe autism?

[@jackboyd8952]

I see the potential, and I'm glad you show autistic people in this light, but it's kind of thrown off by you creeps with this master race thing where Autism is some gift from god for mankind to evolve into.

Obviously not just cheap talk, as he has started that company, hired autistic employees, and it's still going

[@ananse77]

What are you talking about? How is it "no action" to start and operate a company that hires only persons on the spectrum and makes every effort to accommodate them in the working environment?
