Most armies ignore autistic people, Israel is calling them up

The Israeli Defense Forces have a program that places autistic people in the military to utilize their skills. The Ro’im Rachok program, founded in 2013, matches young adults on the autism spectrum who volunteer to join the army with professions that need manpower. Autistic volunteers are assigned to units where they have a comparative advantage, usually military intelligence.
