Finding Employment as an Autistic Person

Finding work that fits your brain, without pretending to be a different person to get it.

Interviews weren't built for autistic communication styles. "Team culture" expectations weren't either. Neither was the unspoken rule that you'll mask through eight-hour days and somehow have energy left for a life. This workbook is built for autistic job searches that don't end in burnout before they start, strengths-based, realistic, and honest about what employment actually costs.
