The Greek Defense Ministry announced plans to create a Special Residence for individuals with disabilities whose parents serve in the military, ensuring lifelong support. Minister Nikos Dendias emphasized the potential for employing autistic adults within the armed forces, utilizing their unique skills in areas like photo recognition—a crucial aspect in managing big data for military operations. Despite some media misinterpretations suggesting children would be taken from care facilities, the ministry received overwhelmingly positive feedback from parents of autistic children for prioritizing employment opportunities after reaching adulthood.
