Greta Thunberg is facing attacks over her Asperger’s

Greta Thunberg has likened her Asperger syndrome to a ‘superpower’ — some Fortune 500 employers appear to agree

Greta Thunberg is facing attacks over her Asperger’s, but companies are keen to hire people on the autism spectrum.

Thunberg, 16, delivered a withering speech on climate change before the United Nations General Assembly last week, shaming world leaders for failing to take action. “How dare you,” she said. “You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words.”

The teen, who has spoken openly about her Asperger’s diagnosis, faced some mockery and personal attacks in response to her speech. One Fox News guest called her “a mentally ill Swedish child,” prompting the network to apologize to Thunberg and denounce the remark as “disgraceful.”
