(forwarded message from Alana Baily)
Love Productions are keen to speak to people who have high-functioning autism or Asperger’s for a potential Channel Four documentary focusing on austim and the workplace. We are particularly interested in making contact with people who work for ‘big business’ (e.g. banks, pharmaceutical companies etc) in order to show how their talents and abilities are being utilised in a professional context. This film would be an entirely positive exploration of high-functioning autism, so please do get in touch with Alana Baily ([email protected] or 0207 497 4076) if you think you may be able to help. By getting in touch you would under no obligation to take part in the project.

Hi,

I am a 45 y/o aspie with a masters in engineering who works for General Electric (about as big as you can get).

Happy to answer any questions - Generally I am well accepted in an R&D capacity. My outstanding strengths are out of the box thinking, analytical skill, and focusing on customers needs.
