R ON THE COVER
Statistics on the cover come from the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention and
the United Nations. The CDC reports that
3.5 million Americans live with an autism
spectrum disorder and that one in 68 children
are diagnosed with such a disorder. The UN
reports that more than 80 percent of adults
with autism are unemployed. The quote
comes from Jason Kippen, who runs a Troy
human resources firm that provides placement
services for clients on the spectrum. Read the

is off the charts. As the
diagnosis rate grows,
so too does awareness.
A small number
of employers are
beginning to recognize
the benefits of this
untapped workforce.
early two years after graduating from the University at
Albany with a 3.2 grade point average and a degree in
computer science, Gabriel Grieco has not found a job that
will lead to a career he aspires to in the video game industry.
Instead of using his programming skills at work, Grieco is stocking
shelves on the overnight shift at Walmart.
“It’s hard to live at home and make a living at Walmart,” says Grieco.
His ultimate career goal would be to produce video games for retro
gaming systems.
Grieco is one of a growing number of young adults entering the
workforce that are on the autism spectrum. Autism spectrum disorder is
a group of developmental disabilities that can cause social, behavioral and
communication challenges. Hiring those with autism spectrum disorder is
both a challenge and opportunity for employers, says Jason Kippen.
Kippen runs Spectrum Employment Services, a Troy human resources
firm that provides labor relations for employers, and placement services
for clients, including 25-year-old Grieco.
“We’re trying to break through walls,” Kippen says.
APRIL 24, 2015
Workers with autism may not respond
well during a job interview, but, given
the right job, Kippen says many on the
autism spectrum have the skills and
work habits to excel.
Autism diagnoses have increased in
recent years. The Centers for Disease
Control estimates 1 in 68 children had
autism in 2014, up from 1 in 150 chil-
dren in 2000. That growth has also created
a large group of people who have friends
or family members on the spectrum. This
so-called “affinity group,” linked by a com-
mon purpose, will support businesses that
are autism-friendly, says Marcia Scheiner,
founder and executive director of New
York City-based Asperger Syndrome Train-
ing and Employment Partnership.
Diversifying a workplace and employ-
ing those with disabilities, she says, is
part of a shift in social consciousness.
At the same time, employing those on
the autism spectrum can improve bot-
tom lines. The Asperger Syndrome Part-
nership works to educate Fortune 1000
companies on the business sense of hir-
ing job candidates on the spectrum.
“We’re really trying to focus from an
economic perspective,” Schiener says.
“People with Asperger’s are loyal. If you
hire them into a job where they’re com-
fortable, they’re not going to leave. Your
turnover costs are going to go down.”
Often, an accommodation from
employers may require slight changes in
conducting an interview. Instead of ask-
ing traditional questions, ask a candidate
to bring in samples of work related to the
job requirements, Schiener says. Accom-
modations can also come in the form of
management style. Some people with
autism work best with managers who
provide clear and consistent communi-
cation. In addition to being loyal, many
people with an autism spectrum disorder
excel at jobs across industries that are rou-
tine and detail oriented, she says.
Michele Vics, a medical biller at Med
Associates in Latham, spends her work
days on data entry and coding, two tasks
that require high attention to detail.
Cathy Alvey, president of the medical
billing and consulting company, says
that when Vics disclosed that she had
Asperger’s in the interview process, she
asked what accommodations the com-
pany might offer her. Nearly two years
after hiring Vics, Alvey says any accom-
modation is offset by Vics’ work.
“In an industry like health care, which
is highly regulated, attention to detail and
honesty is important. And billing can be
repetitive work, so that attention to detail
is important,” Alvey says. “I looked at
what we might do to offer [Vics] more
assistance and it wasn’t much. To us,
we’re happy to come across her resume.”
Vics, in her 50s, says the job search
was difficult. She found not all employ-
ers were able to give workers extra time
to perfect a routine. Now a board mem-
ber for the Autism Society of the Greater
Capital Region, Vics says she’d encour-
age employers to consider the strengths
of job applicants with disabilities instead
of focusing on areas of weakness.
That’s the hiring philosophy of

R BIG NUMBER
$22.8 million
The amount of venture capital funding
raised in upstate New York in the first three
months of 2015.
It was the largest amount that
companies have secured in the first
quarter since 2008 in the upstate region,
which goes from Albany to Buffalo. The
numbers come from The MoneyTree

Employment site takes aim on retaining talent
Marcella Jewell hasn’t held a full-time,
traditional job since graduating from
Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs
last year.
Instead she’s been working on side
projects and building a website — ant-
hilljobs.com — that connects creative and
tech-minded freelancers with local small

businesses.
The site, which goes live May 1, allows
businesses to post freelance or part-time
jobs for college students for free. She said
the jobs cover skill-based work, every-
thing from fine arts or building a web-
site to writing or performing. It’s meant
to fill the gap that college students need
in experiential learning while also mak-
ing money.
“We want to solve the unemployment
problem and to see the area become
really robust and prosperous,” Jewell,
who grew up outside of Binghamton,
said. “We really want young people to
see potential in this area.”

om Caufield is the man in
charge of GlobalFoundries’ $10
billion computer chip factory,
one of the largest private-sector
investments this region has ever seen.
After spending 17 years at IBM in East
Fishkill, Caufield has recruited some
of his former colleagues to help him
position the company to be a leader
in the production of the chips that
will power the next generation of
smartphones and tablets.
While he came to GlobalFoundries
last year from Silicon Valley, Caufield
has a long history in New York. He
grew up on Long Island, went to
college at St. Lawrence near the
Canadian border and spent all those
years at IBM.
We spoke to him recently about
his college days, selling his home in
California and how he landed in the
chip-making business in the first
place. Here are some highlights from of
our conversation.
How did you end up at St. Lawrence
University? I went there to play
Division I hockey. I was a walk-on
and it didn’t work out the way I’d
planned. I needed a different tool kit
to compete.
You ended up earning bachelor’s
degrees from St. Lawrence and
