The Afterword covers the many employment initiatives for adults on the autism spectrum launched just in the three years since the book was originally published.\u003cbr\u003e The book has its basis in the autism job club that the authors have been part of in the San Francisco Bay Area, the job-creation and job-placement efforts the club has undertaken, and similar efforts throughout the United States.\u003cbr\u003e The authors review the high unemployment rates among adults with autism and other neuro- diverse conditions more than two decades after the ADA. Bernick and Holden also outline and explain six strategies that, taken together, will reshape employment for adults with autism: the art of the autism job coach; the autism advantage in technology employment; autism employment and the internet economy; autism employment and the practical\/craft economy; autism and extra-governmental job networks; autism and public service employment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Autism Job Club\u003c\/i\u003e is a vital resource for adults with autism, their families, and advocates who are committed to neuro-diverse employment, not unemployment. But it also speaks to a far broader audience interested in how to carve out a place for themselves or others in an increasingly competitive job world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Bernick, Richard Holden\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1510728295\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781510728295\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Skyhorse Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/06\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.90d","brand":"Michael Bernick","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44054316220671,"sku":"9781510728295","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_90138af2-726e-4915-af3c-5a5aa68571cb.jpg?v=1685029249","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-autism-job-club-michael-bernick-9781510728295","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
