The Hidden Curriculum of Getting and Keeping a Job: Navigating the Social Landscape of Employment

The Hidden Curriculum of Getting and Keeping a Job: Navigating the Social Landscape of Employment : A Guide for Individuals with Autism Spectrum and Other Social-Cognitive Challenges

Adults on the spectrum often have difficulty getting and keeping a job that is unrelated to their job skills. This practical and easy-to-use book provides necessary yet often untaught information on a variety of topics related to getting a job, finding a mentor, networking, using agencies, interviewing, talking with supervisors, dealing with on-the-job-frustrations, understanding the social rules at work and many other topics.

Authored by two individuals on the spectrum who have extensive experience in helping others become employed, Judy Endow and Malcolm Mayfield, as well as Brenda Smith Myles, an internationally known writer and speaker on autism spectrum disorders.
