The Odd One Out: Bosses, Bullies, and Autism in the Workplace
Written with honesty, insight, and some humor, this journal offers a look at the experiences of an adult autistic person in the workplace. It's a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the challenges and strengths of neurodiverse individuals. More importantly, this journal might resonate with autistic adults who've felt like the odd person out in nearly every job they've had. Meet Autistic Ang, who found out a week before her 39th birthday that she's autistic. It's only been several months since this realization, and during that time she's been down the research rabbit hole, trying to better understand herself. When she couldn't find many resources by autistic people from her part of the spectrum, she felt called to be someone others like her could see themselves in.
