About the Book

Adults on the spectrum often have difficulty getting and keeping a job that is unrelated to their job skills. This practical and easy-to-use book provides necessary yet often untaught information on a variety of topics related to getting a job, finding a mentor, networking, using agencies, interviewing, talking with supervisors, dealing with on-the-job-frustrations, understanding the social rules at work and many other topics.

Authored by two individuals on the spectrum who have extensive experience in helping others become employed, Judy Endow and Malcolm Mayfield, as well as Brenda Smith Myles, an internationally known writer and speaker on autism spectrum disorders.

Brenda has made over 1,000 presentations all over the world and written more than 200 articles and books on ASD.

Judy Endow, MSW is an author and international speaker on a variety of autism-related topics, is part of the Wisconsin DPI Statewide Autism Training Team and a board member of both the Autism Society of America, Wisconsin Chapter and the Autism National Committee. In addition, Judy is a member of the Autistic Global Initiative (AGI), a program of the Autism Research Institute.

Review :
This is the first book I have seen that addresses the unwritten rules of the workplace. It will help educators and employers understand the social-cognitive challenges that people with autism spectrum conditions face in their everyday lives. As a parent of a young man with autism who struggles to understand social experiences, I especially appreciate having a framework for how to support him in overcoming his social-cognitive challenges, especially in the workplace. This book should be part of the school/college curriculum for young adults with autism and should be used by parents, educators, vocational rehabilitation professionals, job coaches, job mentors, and employers. --Geraldine Graydon, MSc, University College Dublin; advocate, mentor, and co-founder of Autism Rights & Equality Alliance, Ireland

This is a great book for people with autism spectrum disorders who are either looking for a job or trying to survive in one. The focus on the hidden curriculum is spot-on: it’s the unwritten rules and unsuspected behaviours that so often trip people up in the workplace. This book will guide you through the minefield. --David Perkins, head of services, National Autistic Society (NAS) Prospects, UK
