(book) Asperger’s Syndrome Workplace Survival Guide: A Neurotypical’s Secrets for Success

[Guest guest]

I recently borrowed this book from a friend and really enjoyed it. 

I especially like it because the author is NT

and understands AS and NLD very well.

IMO, NTs who are good communicators and well-informed about AS and

NLD are often the best cross-cultural translators, as they have

the innate social skills required to really understand on a gut

level what it takes to succeed in the workplace.  If they can

articulate these highly nuanced concepts in a way that the Aspie

and NLDer can understand, they can really make a positive

contribution to the neurodiverse community.

Excerpt:

"This unique guide explains what it

takes to succeed in a workplace dominated by neurotypicals. The Asperger’s

Syndrome Workplace Survival Guide covers everything from

choosing the right career to deciding whether disclosure is the

right option. It features realistic strategies for meeting

employer expectations and effectively resolving problems.

Topics include: networking for the socially challenged ... the

importance of small talk (and how to do it) ... a primer on office

politics ... dealing with authority and change ... time management

and project planning tips ... managing anxiety, fear, anger and

stress ... how to be a team player ... accepting criticism and

feedback ... and much, much more."
