I heartily recommend this book and concur with the author when he writes, "I do not view my condition as a disadvantage"-- Good Autism Practice
His success in this field is an inspiration to anyone on the spectrum striving to overcome their social and communication challenges. I enjoyed this book because it is an interesting and captivating read. I admire the author's ability to share his innermost thoughts and feelings with us and my heart goes out to him. I wish him continued success in his career. -- On The Spectrum
The book provides a highly constructive framework, describing the issues within a business setting and how the approach of a person with AS can compound issues through to actions that can prevent them occurring in the first place.
