Review "This is Temple Grandins most practical and generous work yet. She offers so very much of herself and her real life experiences. Kate Duffys compassion, empathy and positive attitude pervade the very fiber of this book. The guidelines and suggestions are clear, creative and useful in real-life application. The many specific examples of real people with AS in their careers are invaluable, especially to the Autism Spectrum population. While the book was written for people with AS, it is an essential work for anyone who cares for, teaches, employs or works with someone on the spectrum. It will go to the top of my recommended reading list!" --Sue Moreno, founder and president, Maap Services Inc."This book will be very useful to individuals with Asperger Syndrome or high-functioning autism, and especially valuable to parents and others who aspire to be helpers. Written with clarity and directness, Temples illustrations from her own youthful experiences are convincing and will inspire hope and impart practical guidance. The book covers all aspects of the search for suitable careers for individuals on the autism spectrum. This is a unique and very important book." --Lorna Jean King, OTR, founder, The Childrens Center for Neurodevelopmental Studies"A book with hard-hitting, concrete help for adolescents and young adults preparing for the adult world of work. This book is of equal value to individuals on the autism spectrum, their parents, educators, and career-guidance professionals. No Pollyanna about how easy things are, Temple Grandin humanizes this challenging part of young adults world by her own stories and sage advice. Of special importance is the emphasis upon developing social and communication skills. Chock-full of practical how-tos and step-by-step instructions for making it through the maze of choosing a career, this book is a must-read, must-do for young adults and their transition partners from all walks of life." --Roger N.
