Social Thinking At Work: Why Should I Care?
Michelle's books . . . are extremely practical and full of powerful solutions. --Stephen Borgman, Psychology TodayIn school, mastery of subject leads to positive results. In the work world, mastering only the content of a job without mastering social skills can lead to a dead end, a demotion or even a firing. This book provides clear strategies along with plenty of examples for mastering those social skills. Winner and Crooke take complex social situations and distill them down to their essence. Often, the essence is something that is never even spoken. Years could be spent discerning social strategies that can be learned within a few hours from reading this book. --A reader who has benefitted from this bookThe book is great because it fills a need that is not being met--there are very few resources for adults on the spectrum to deal with occupational problems. I love that this book speaks directly to adults (not ABOUT them) and provides a perfect balance of practical strategies as well as the rationale behind them. I also enjoy how the book is sprinkled with relevant quotes from famous people and cartoons! Well done! --Valerie Gaus, Ph.D.The book is great because it fills a need that is not being met--there are very few resources for adults on the spectrum to deal with occupational problems.
