Written for people with Asperger's Syndrome, and their employers, this book gives tips and advice on how to thrive at work, achieve your full potential and take advantage of your strengths. Topics include: social interaction at work, eye contact/body language/reading faces at work, people you work with, unique AS preoccupations at work, valuable traits, issues of flexibility, your sensory system at work, employer-employee relationships, team meetings and career advancement. It's an American publication and while its up-front tone and language (and title!) won't appeal to everyone, the content includes useful examples and case studies.

For non-AS/AS partners who want their relationships to get better, who know they love one another and who desire to stay together, Ashley Stanford has given us a wonderful resource. She's ever hopeful, loving, and respectful of her relationship with her AS husband, while remaining honest in her sharing of how difficult it can be sometimes. Stanford shares the insights she's gained from living in an AS/non-AS marriage. She sheds light on how the many forms and nuances of Asperger syndrome may present itself, which can lead to difficulties for long-term relationships, as well as how to understand what those actions really mean. This understanding helps non-AS partners to avoid hurt feelings and promote better understanding between partners for their differences. This was the most upbeat, supportive, encouraging book I've read to date on the subject, and I've read many. I'd recommend this book highly to those who are determined to have a healthier relationship with a partner who has AS.… (mere)
