Links/Resources To Help Educate Others on AS

Post Reply New Topic

I was wondering if anybody had any good links or resources I could use and send to co-worker whom I recently disclosed I have AS to.
This co-worker is a few ranks above me, but NOT my supervisor, and I decided to casually disclose over drinks because he has been helping advise on where I fit organizationally.

He had no clue I have AS, he is very bright but thought AS just meant somebody curses all the time like TS!! Any easy to read resources I could help explain would be great, again as he has been advising on where I fit and if he knew more about AS, he could only better provide insight. Thanks!

Here are some which come to my mind.
William Stillman's book Demystifying the Autistic Experience
Steve Silverman's book Nuerotribes: although this book is a bit long
Jim Sinclair's website http://web.archive.org/web/20090323234856/http://web.syr.edu/~jisincla/index.html#articles

Thanks...was wondering if there was a good website though that could simply explain some things or be used as a reference for a co-worker.

We have a great website in Poland for describing Asperger to bosses and coworkers https://translate.google.pl/translate?h ... %3Flang%3D - google translate but you might find it useful enough.

Found this article in the local paper today https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/youre-autistic-you-know-you-can-do-a-good-job-but-will-employers-listen/2016/09/22/412956bc-4dca-11e6-a422-83ab49ed5e6a_story.html
