After his son was diagnosed with Autism, Thorkil realized that in helping his son he also needed to get the world to shift their perception of Autism. In doing so, he is changing one of the most challenging aspects of Autism for adults: Employability. Mr. Sonne is helping corporations identify skills they need in their employees that are specifically abundant in the Autism community, then he systematically educates the individuals with ASD to be able to master the components of the job they may be deficient in. The result is a highly trained employee, a productive member of society and a shift in how we view nurturing talent! Autism Live is a production of the Center for Autism and Related Disorders (CARD), headquartered in Tarzana, California, and with offices throughout, the United States and around the globe.
