The software testers at Aspiritech constitute the unusual workforce of a U.S. startup that specializes in finding software bugs by harnessing the talents of young adults with autism.

Aspiritech, a nonprofit in Highland Park, Ill., nurtures these skills while forgiving the quirks that could make adults with autism unemployable.

From news.yahoo.com:

“They exceeded my expectations,” said Dan Tedesco of Shelton, Conn.-based HandHold Adaptive, which took a chance on Aspiritech to test an iPhone application. “There is a pride in their product you don’t usually see in this type of work.”

Aspiritech was founded by Moshe and Brenda Weitzberg after their son, Oran, now 32, was fired from a job bagging groceries. Oran was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome when he was 14. He now works at Aspiritech.

“He went from failing at bagging groceries to being one of the best software testers on our team,” said Brenda Weitzberg.

“There have been a couple of attempts in the U.S. and Aspiritech is the one that’s making it,” said Scott Standifer of the University of Missouri’s Disability Policy and Studies office and the organizer of a national conference on adults with autism and employment.

UN leader Ban Ki-moon while launching a summit on everyday diseases killing tens of millions each year accused big business of putting public health at risk “to protect their own profits.”

“There is a well-documented and shameful history of certain players in industry who ignored the science — sometimes even their own research — and put public health at risk to protect their own profits,” Ban Ki-moon said.

From news.yahoo.com:

Ban said most industry giants have “acted responsibly” but added: “That is all the more reason we must hold everyone accountable — so that the disgraceful actions of a few do not sully the reputation of the many which are doing such important work to foster our progress.”

Ban called upon corporations that profit from selling processed foods to children “to act with the utmost integrity.”

“I refer not only to food manufacturers, but also the media, marketing and advertising companies that play central roles in these enterprises,” he told the summit.

“Those who profit from alcohol sales have to do their part to promote moderation in alcohol consumption. And we can all work to end tobacco use.”

Zimbabwe’s President Robert Mugabe called on rich countries to help poor nations to “ensure access to medicines, appropriate technology transfer and further training for our health personnel” to counter the diseases.
