Hope for some autistic people

Today's NY Times tells the story of Thorkil Sonne and how he is changing the lives of some autistic people, one of whom is his son, Lars.  I say "some" because Sonne's work does not help all autistic people, since, as in the lives of non-autistic people, some people are more talented in certain areas than other people.  Sonne started a company in Denmark that has a staff of autistic people who work as consultants in areas requiring the particular skills they have.  He has been fairly successful and will soon be trying to replicate his success in the U.S.  I don't see how he can miss.
