Product Description
In this updated and expanded edition, the authors take an in-depth look at a growing area of the US economy: entrepreneurship. Using real-life examples, they point out that many of the unique characteristics of individuals on the autism spectrum lend themselves well to entrepreneurial ventures. The book also explores many often unnoticed aspects of Vocational Rehabilitation programs that provide job training and placement for people with disabilities as well as Social Security Administration programs that offer vocational assistance. Finally, employment figures and prospects have been updated and new jobs have been added that are particularly well suited for those on the spectrum, resulting in the most current look at the employment prospects for individuals with Asperger Syndrome and high-functioning autism.

the book is by Temple Grandin and Kate Duffy btw

Temple Grandin is perhaps the most famous person with Autism in the world for those that don't know.
she's high functioning I think.

Thanks for the link. I read the intro (you can read the first few pages on Amazon there) and it read like an autobiography. The style was easy to read. I'm already employed, but still, I think I'll snag a copy.

yay! one response. i read the earlier edition but want to read the newer edition. I wonder if it's in the book store. not in my state public libraries.

I thought she was originally considered to be a low-functioning autistic.

Also: I prefer Ari Ne'eman. No offense to the fabulous Ms. Grandin, though.
