Australia now comes on board with software testing

It is great news to now hear that software testing has become a reality to employ adults on the Autism Spectrum here in Australia. Please read the following link for more information.

Software testing companies now exist in the United Kingdom, United States, Denmark, Switzerland and now Australia has come on board. The next step is to replicate these companies to reach other countries, cities and towns throughout the world.

Please note that the following information session hosted by Info Exchange and Alpha Autism below

Date: Monday 5 December 2011
Time: 4.00pm to 5.30pm
Cost: Free
Location: Melbourne (venue TBA)
RSVP: Wednesday 30 November 2011

I think all adults on the Autism Spectrum should have a go at software testing to see whether or not it is for them. I am currently undertaking work for a replication of software testing to happen here in Brisbane. Also there is the Asperger Services Australia Adult Conference which will be hosted in Brisbane, Australia next year.

Please stay tuned for further updates on software testing which has now reached Australia.

My Account as an Aspie

Welcome to my blog. I hope that my posts are both informative and interesting. I like to contribute my own personal experiences to this blog and hope that by reading the information and posts provided that you will obtain a wealth of knowledge, information and understanding. I largely write about my own experiences of having Asperger Syndrome, my thoughts and other information which may prove useful to you as an audience. As an adult with Asperger Syndrome, I accept my diagnosis and I hope that other adults, their families and friends can also find my information useful.

Should you wish to find out more about me, please do not hesitate to contact the links mentioned on my blog "Some Useful Links on Asperger Syndrome" on this webpage. I would value any opportunity to speak at your conference. Chris Mitchell who is an Adult with Asperger Syndrome in the United Kingdom or Dr Tony Attwood (now Professor) the world leading advocate on Asperger Syndrome based in Brisbane, Australia as I am committed to the work with all these significant and important people as far as Asperger Syndrome is concerned. Within the Asperger Syndrome community it is important that we work together and I feel it is my responsibility to help with the best of my ability. I would also recommend you visit the link relating to Specialsterne an employer of Adults on the Autism Spectrum and Minds and Hearts which also helps adults and children with Asperger Syndrome.

I wish you all the best in whether you are reading my blog to become more enlightened about Asperger Syndrome or whether you find the information I post of some help to yourself or another person or persons concerned.

Please also stay tuned to the Autism Works Website in this blog's links for updates and development and progress.

"My Account As An Aspie" may not reflect all the views of other adults on the Autism Spectrum but hopefully my personal account will better raise awareness of what is becoming a growing reality.

Kind and warmest regards
