Disabled engineers make great contributors—if they can get past the interview

[...] People with disabilities are under represented in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) jobs compared with their numbers in the overall population, according to the Bureau of Labour Statistics and the U.S. Census Bureau. But those who succeed share qualities of acceptance, tenacity, and resilience. By necessity, these engineers and coders have well-honed problem-solving skills.

There are three examples quoted in the article. I am sure some of you have had similar experiences. What are your views on this?

    Disabled engineers are cheap hires because they don't take time off, they don't start families, and they focus on their work because they live in their mothers' basements out of necessity but they want to spend as much time as they can at work to get away from their overbearing mothers. I've seen it happen.
