Description: "The authors review the high unemployment rates among adults with autism and other neurodiverse conditions more than two decades after the Americans with Disabilities Act..."The autism job club" is a vital resource for adults with autism, their families, and advocates who are committed to neurodiverse employment, not unemployment. But it will also speak to a far broader audience interested in how to carve out a place for themselves or others in an increasingly competitive job world."--Jacket.
