Employment helps create a window of opportunity for individuals with autism. Besides providing them with a chance to build their confidence, employment allows people with autism to stand on their own feet to earn a living.
Since engineering, property and infrastructure company Gamuda embarked on its Project Differently-Abled (DA) – aimed at creating employment opportunities for individuals with autism – 18 people with autism now have a brighter future. The project, initiated by Gamuda’s group managing director Datuk Lin Yun Ling, aims to harness autistic individuals’ skills and competence rather than highlighting their disability.
