Asperger's on the Job
Books | Business & Economics / Careers / Job Hunting
Rudy Simone
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 fifty adults with Asperger's from all over the world, in addition to their employers and numerous experts in the field. Detailed lists 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. Readers will be enriched, enlightened, and ready to work―together!

"This was a pretty good read. Although many AS people have different experiences and perspectives on how they would like coworkers and colleagues to act, I think this was a good read for me to see how I could improve my interactions to tap into their strengths while also being aware of where I can improve personally at work. All about understanding and not imposing my own perspective. I liked the flow and voice in this book as well. "
