Recenzii

"From determining career options, locating positions, presentation of self in media, written form, and interviews, to appropriate disclosure, this book is packed to the brim with suggestions, tips, worksheets, lists, and just plain old great advice. While perfectly tuned to those with Asperger's syndrome searching for employment, this book will be helpful to anyone looking for a job." -Stephen Shore, Ed.D., Professor of Special Education, Adelphi University and internationally renowned author, consultant, and presenter on issues related to the autism spectrum "Although she is not herself on the spectrum, Barbara Bissonnette has demonstrated that she understands the challenges that autism brings. The Complete Guide to Getting a Job for People with Asperger's Syndrome addresses key job-hunting concerns that spectrumites have, from interviewing and personal presentation, to building confidence, maintaining motivation and managing anxiety. The book is a great addition to the other career guides for those on the spectrum already out there, and builds on what has come before." -Yvona Fast, Support Groups Manager, GRASP, and author of Employment for Individuals with Asperger Syndrome or Non-Verbal Learning Disability: Stories and Strategies "Barbara Bissonnette has a unique understanding and vast experience with working with individuals with Asperger's syndrome in employment. Her book is a critical asset for career counselors, teachers and parents assisting young adults to obtain and keep employment taking into account the environmental, sensory and social fit for each individual. This is a must read and I highly recommend it." - Michael P. McManmon, EdD, founder of the College Internship Program and author of Made for Good Purpose: What Every Parent Needs to Know to Help Their Adolescent with Asperger's, High Functioning Autism or a Learning Difference Become an Independent Adult
