On the 2nd of April, An Independent News Source by the name of “Curious Frank” posted an article called “Autism and the Cyber Security Sector”. I could not find information on whether this website was biased, but it seems to be unbiased, and uses factual information, as they leave plenty of their super reliable sources such as the National Autism Society, etc. In honour of World Autism Day, this article dives into the benefits and challenges that people with Autism have in the Cybersecurity Industry. Curious Frank also looks into the fact that many Autistic people aren’t getting the work support that they need. For example 84% of Autistic adults do not have full time employment. They also talk about the change in focus towards autistic people in the cybersecurity industry. They end by talking about an event hosted by Oracle, designed to enable young autistic people to get access to employment.
Autism seems to be an important thing in the Cyber Security Sector, and this article by Curious Frank proves it. When I shifted my focus towards manipulation, I saw all these articles on Autism, and decided to look into them, and now we are here. This article dives into many important things that businesses need to know about autistic people. They have an infographic in the article which helps convey their message that autistic people have important skills for the cybercrime industry such as their very logic and detail oriented brain, which helps them – for example if they miss a semicolon, an autistic person usually will notice due to their logic and pattern based brain. I think the article talks a lot about the lack of employment opportunities for autistic people. Like i stated in my summary, 84% of autistic adults do not have a full time job. When there is such a big industry for them, I find this to be really interesting, and also sad. The article gives some information about how technology works in Autistic people’s brains, often mentioned how it is logical, and process based. I believe their message of empowering autistic people, as well as supporting them through really helps, and I believe that this is what I wanted in a lot of these articles, as many of my articles did not include these examples of supports that people could use. I hope my last article also has supports for the issue in place, no matter what it is about, because security is important, especially in a job field, as well as especially with a disorder like Autism.
