A fantastic resource for people with ASD and their families.

Many thanks to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for my ARC. All opinions are my own.

This book is amazingly realistic and highlights the challenges that those with autism face in the workforce and ways to assist them. I work with autistic middle school students and have wondered how they will do when they are out in the work world. This book has been a very helpful resource as to what their future can be and how I can help them get there!

I work with individuals diagnosed with ASD and this book is a very important and fantastic resource to help them know what direction to take. Thank you for allowing me a chance to read this book.

The digital version of this book is poorly laid out - though it could be because it is an ARC version. Words and paragraphs are jumbled, the lists are not lined up well, and the word positive is highlighted several times on each page...causing it to become a distraction. The information here is good, and would be helpful for a high-functioning aspie to read alone or to be gone through together with another adult, but getting past the static as it's written now is going to be an issue.

Edited to add: After speaking with the publisher and seeing a PDF version of this text, which looks like what the hardcopy would be, I can easily recommend this book for use. One thing I couldn't see in the mobi format was the 'workbook element' of the text, where there is room for practice responses from the student. This is a nice touch.

Very practical approach to guiding young adults with autism on the social skills necessary to be successfully employed. The use of worksheets and exercises to teach and reinforce 'soft skills' has been proven to be a highly effective method for many people with ASD. I believe some of the concepts introduced on positivity in the workforce can also be translated to personal skills in general. Thank you.
