Thinking about moving out on your own? Ready to land your first job? Unsure how to navigate social scenes when you have Asperger's? Designed for the newly launched Aspie adult, Asperger's and Adulthood provides supportive solutions-based strategies for navigating the ins and outs of balancing Asperger's syndrome with career goals, dating, social settings, and more.

Adulthood is complicated for anyone, though it can be especially overwhelming for someone living with Asperger's. Thankfully, Asperger's and Adulthood presents targeted strategies from learning specialist Blythe Grossberg to help young adults with Asperger's kick-start careers, cultivate healthy relationships, and create independent paths as maturing adults. Grossberg lends her expertise by providing an Asperger's road map - pointing out potential obstacles and offering valuable how-tos for thriving in the world.

This book also helps loved ones gain a deeper understanding of what it means to live with Asperger's syndrome. Whether you're listening for yourself or someone you know, Asperger's and Adulthood helps you develop deeper insight for tackling life challenges, with:

  • Step-by-step strategies for entering the workforce and tips to translate your talents into a career
  • Helpful scripts for managing small talk, job interviews, and first dates
  • Practical tips and budgeting checklists for establishing your independence
  • Real-life Asperger's stories on finding friends and landing jobs
  • Handy how-tos about stimming, and how to adopt more discreet comforting behaviors 

The truth is, even with Asperger's, you can do whatever you put your mind to - and Asperger's and Adulthood outlines the tools and strategies to help you achieve a full and rewarding adult life.

was looking for something for all adults

Great for teens but I need something for 50+ and support/family like myself who cares for my mother with autism who was diagnosed late in life.

her autism has developed in different ways the more she ages and I cant seem to find any literature to help!

Oh dear!

I don't know where to begin, but I hardly made it past the introduction.

For a start, it's aimed more at adolescents on the spectrum rather than adults. It's also presented in a patronising way and the narrator has a very grating voice -- I'm not enjoying it.

Disrespectful & automated. Worst audiobook ever.

Narration seems very automated and to my knowledge they don’t pronounce Asperger’s correctly. I find it insulting and disrespectful. How are you going to sit and claim that this book is by a professional and yet you can’t even get one and most important word correct?
