According to a Norwegian national newspaper, The Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration has started a new project aimed at giving people with AS help to succeed in the labour market. Acknowledging that aspies constitute a group of people with great but often untapped resources, this project gives aspies the opportunity to learn what kind of social skills you are expected to be able to master at the workplace, tips about what you can and what you cannot say to your boss, what kind of things people find ok to talk about in lunch breaks, how to succeed in job interviews, etc.
The newspaper had interviewed a couple of guys with AS who explained how this project helped them to get a job where they could use their considerable computer skills. They had been given iPhones which made it easier for them organize their travel to work, their schedules etc.
There are already companies standing in line waiting to employ the people who have completed this training program.
This project is just another example of how great the Norwegian tax system works. Ok, so we Norwegians pay a lot of taxes, but when we see how much good our tax money is used for, I pay my tax gladly!
