Asperger Syndrome Employment Workbook: An Employment Workbook for Adults with Asperger Syndrome

This practical manual will enable people diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome (AS) and high-functioning autism to deepen their self-understanding and appreciate their value as working individuals. Through step-by-step self-assessments, readers are encouraged to engage actively in a self-paced exploration of their employment history and ultimately to identify the work best suited to their personal needs, talents, and strengths. The workbook contains practical exercises with clear explanations and examples of how to use them. It leads readers to identify and explore three jobs they have held in different life periods; their interests, skills, talents, their style of learning and work, the social skills required by specific jobs, successful and unsuccessful survival strategies, issues around diagnosis and disclosure that affect life at work and outside it, and creative problem solving for the present and the future. Asperger Syndrome Employment Workbook will also be an essential guide for professionals, career advisors, and vocational counselors as it provides in-depth guidance and research on fulfilling employment for adults and adolescents with Asperger Syndrome and high-functioning autism.
