Is this how Lawrie got into CSC and then proceeded to destroy 10000s of people lives...

The Dandelion Program is an initiative to build valuable Information Technology skills and careers for people on the autism spectrum. The program encompasses a period of three years, where we focus on building and developing technical, life, and executive functioning skills within the individuals. The Dandelion Program first began in 2014 with former Minister for Human Services, Senator the Hon. Marise Payne, announcing the pilot program, providing 11 candidates with employment in Adelaide

This is a great program, but I have to wonder what the impact to people on the Autism spectrum is when they're WFRd for no apparent reason.

Probably not the best way to have a dig at Lawrie.

The Dandelion Program was an HPE initiative that emulated an SAP program, Autism at Work. The program is helping people in the community who may find it hard to locate employers who are willing to include them, While I am sure that there is some brand benefits from the program, there are also benefits for a section of the community who sometimes are treated pretty poorly.

People with Autism have unique talents which are an advantage to employers if they are willing to design the right role and provide the right training and support. Strangely enough, every single person has unique talents, pity many employers aren't willing to think outside the box to find roles that allow people to excel.

This link explains more about where the program started. https://www.ere.net/our-autism-at-work-program-five-years-later/

The Dandelion Program is a good initiative but really badly executed by being associated with DXC. How would Autistic people know if they are being bullied by ML and his cronies?
