A Good Idea 
2006-01-28
I was excited about the workbook concept, because I hoped it would be more helpful than just reading other peoples advice, but because I am the sort of person who thinks about things quite a lot anyway I found that completing the workbook didn't really tell me anything I didn't already know. However, if you want to be provided with a structure for sitting down and seriously thinking about your past experiences of work, this book may help you to understand yourself and find the direction that best suits your needs and abilities... just don't expect it to tell you. If you have no work experience, such as a school leaver, you could still use this book, but I wouldn't recommend it. You could end up focusing too much on the only past experience you have i.e. the education system, and I think you might find that limiting. The book also includes a section covering the issues involved, and is written by a man with Asperger syndrome himself.
If You Have Asperger's, This Book Will Work For You 
2004-12-19
This is the book adults on the autism/Asperger's (a/A) spectrum have been praying for. This book is every adult with Asperger's best friend in employment related matters.
This author has shared experiences and described behavior that is part of the a/A spectrum. The insights and explanations that are given help pave the way towards understanding and accomodating adults with Asperger's in the workplace. It is a meeting of the minds; the neurotypical (NT) and the a/A. This book will certainly close gaps and make for a neuroneutral meeting workplace that works for all.
Hats off to this book!
Good book for AS adults who are mid-career. 
2004-01-06
This book is excellent and very useful for adults with AS or professionals who work with them. I did not find it very helpful, however, for young adults who are just beginning to enter work. This book would be much more useful for adults who are already employed or have been employed for extended periods. For those people, I believe this book is excellent, helpful, easy to work through, and well-written. But if you are looking for something to help an adolescent or young adult with AS, this may contain a few tips, but it probably won't be very helpful.
A very good book for those with Asperger's 2001-12-02
If you are someone who is, or know someone who is, suffering from Asperger's and you want to develop (better) job skills this is the book for you. The author has Asperger's, as is obvious from the structure, detail, and methodical nature of the book. Lots of forms - LOTS of forms. The book is designed to help the Asperger's person, their family, or a professional prepare for finding the Asperger's person the right job, get them through the interpersonal issues involved in interviewing, and deal with the demands of the job. The personal experiences of the author help color his presentation of the material and help illustrate for the reader that these things can be accomplished and the Asperger's person can thrive in the work environment with the right preparation and planning.
