Had some good information, but most of the information was about employment in general. I'd say only about 10% of the book is actually geared at gainful employment for adults with autism, but ending each chapter with a paragraph about how the information in the chapter applies to autism.
And frankly, it's a lot of "no crap" information, like networking. Yes, of course, networking will help anyone and everyone gain employment... ...more

I should have bought this book instead of checking it out from the library. I took pages of notes. The authors talk about current job trends, and then specifically apply them to autism job seekers.

I agree with a lot of the other reviewers that the book had a lot of information (most of it general and superfluous to the topic at hand, until the smaller 'conclusion' sections at the end of the section tying it back in).

Tries to cover everyone who falls under the autism umbrella in a book that is short on substance. There are good ideas that help get one's mind working, but there aren't many breakthroughs. Reads more like a progress report for the job organizations mentioned in the book.

Dry as a bone, and really pertaining more to employment in general with a sprinkling of autism anecdotes. But maybe interesting for someone with less knowledge of the topic.
