Those on the autistic spectrum often display highly focused and analytical traits. SAP is the latest company – and the first major multinational – to move to harness these characteristics for IT-related work.

Concur. Worked with SAP products in the past. Don't see any significant difference to the employees they had a decade and a half ago.

Perhaps it was just something they pitched to shine in the spotlight of political correctness...

That was extremely offensive towards autistic people, Ath! - I would have written something witty about monkeys, but that'd have been offensive the poor monkeys as well :)
Interesting to see that it's 'Specialisterne' they're going to work with - they've got a pretty cool background story.
