Tilman Hoeffken is a marketing manager at Auticon, a German company which employs consultants with autism as software testers. He lays out life in the office. "It seems like a normal work environment but if you look closely, it is rather pure. There are very few things which could interrupt you, which make noise. There are lamps that many of the consultants don't like to use, so it's also a bit darker than a normal office. You have to be very direct and straight in your orders, and you can't use metaphor or simile in your speech. Some of our consultants don't like to shake hands. It's a small thing, but it's important to understand these things in order to work well as a team.
