The six autism employment strategies -- The adult autism community in the United States today and its employment status -- The art of the autism job coach -- Autism, technology, and the growing internet economy employment -- Autism and the practical economy -- Autism and employment for the more severely impacted -- Lifelong learning, workplace culture, and the future of the autism job club
"The authors review the high unemployment rates among adults with autism and other neurodiverse conditions more than two decades after the Americans with Disabilities Act..."The autism job club" is a vital resource for adults with autism, their families, and advocates who are committed to neurodiverse employment, not unemployment. But it will also speak to a far broader audience interested in how to carve out a place for themselves or others in an increasingly competitive job world."--Jacket
