Summary

Up to 85% of the Asperger's population are without full-time employment, though many have above-average intelligence. Rudy Simone, an adult with Asperger's Syndrome and an accomplished author, consultant, and musician, created this insightful resource to help employers, educators, and therapists accommodate this growing population, and to help people with Asperger's find and keep gainful employment. Rudy's candid advice is based on her personal experiences and the experiences of over 50 adults with Asperger's from all over the world, in addition to their employers and numerous experts in the field. It contains detailed lists of what the employee can do, and employers and advocates provide balanced guidelines for success, while Rudy's Interview Tips and Personal Job Map tools will help Aspergians, young or old, find their employment niche. There is more to a job than what the tasks are. From social blunders, to sensory issues, to bullying by coworkers, Simone presents solutions to difficult challenges. Listeners will be enriched, enlightened, and ready to work together!

Really informative

I’m currently pursuing a diagnosis and want to be able to thrive in my working life. This book outlined ways to cope while waiting, what adjustments I could reasonably ask for, and how to know which job setting might be best for me. The reading was also very clear and the language very easy to digest.

Useful and interesting

An interesting and useful book overall. I’m not sure I agree with the author’s claim that the increase in people diagnosed with ASD can’t be explained by better awareness. Also slightly sceptical of some of the sweeping generalisations about people with ASD. But in general there’s a lot of good stuff in here, although almost entirely North American in context.

The reading is disappointing. Random stresses and changes of pitch halfway through a sentence, quite poor quality presentation.
