Chris Tachibana speaks about this in detail in an article he contributed for MSNBC recently.

Tachibana says that disabilities can be converted from banes to boons when they are properly utilized. A good example for this is Ron Brix, who is affected with Asperger Syndrome (a form of autism) yet is highly successful as a computer system developer. One can do justice to that job only if he/she has high amount of concentration, gives a lot of attention to even the most minuscule of all details and doesn’t stop till attaining perfection.

Disabled people can find a shoulder of support in online jobs and vocational training programmes. An LMS or LCMS will help you come up with new and highly efficient training methods.
