For those who want to help somebody with Asperger Syndrome find and
keep a satisfying job, this book is a vital tool. Gail Hawkins
guides readers through the entire process of gaining employment,
from building a supportive team, identifying and addressing
workplace challenges, to securing an appropriate position.
Including practical tips on topics such as finding potential
employers and creating a dazzling resume or CV, this book also
offers sensitive advice on assessing when somebody is ready for
work, and how, when and where to disclose a disability to an
employer. Hawkins' well-tested approach aims to provide all the
information needed for a fast, realistic, and successful path to
fulfilling employment.
College life is particularly stressful for students with Asperger
Syndrome (AS) and the resources that colleges provide for such
students are often inadequate. This much needed guide provides
information to help these students prepare successfully for the
rites and rituals of studying, interact with staff and fellow
students, cope with expectations and pressures, and understand
their academic and domestic responsibilities. How will I cope with
the workload? What do I do if I feel ill? How do I make friends and
initiate relationships with the opposite sex? Drawing on first hand
interviews with AS students and direct clinical experience, the
authors address these and many other questions thoughtfully and
thoroughly, making practical recommendations. Succeeding in College
with Asperger Syndrome demystifies the range of college experiences
for students with AS. It is a must for these students, their
parents and counsellors alike, providing benefits that will
continue throughout the college years and beyond.
