Working while Autistic - Thrive in a Career You Love

Wendela Whitcomb Marsh

Synopsis

In Working While Autistic, Wendela Whitcomb Marsh delves into the challenges and triumphs autistic individuals face in the workplace. From acing the initial interview to navigating workplace politics, this is the handbook you need to get your career in gear. Employment can be a major challenge for autistic adults, and many are unemployed or underemployed. They may be highly skilled, motivated, and eager to work, but finding and keeping a job seems out of reach. Why is it so difficult?
 
• Working While Autistic offers a blueprint for going from unemployed to    happily employed. This book covers:
 
• How to find the right career path
 
• Six Characters in Search of Employment (fictional autistic folk who illustrate    the strategies in each chapter)
 
• Goalsetting
 
• Honing your interview skills
 
• Messages from autistic mentors (actually autistic workers share their    wisdom and lived experience)
 
• And much more!
 
You'll learn about different dilemmas, including time management, learning when to accept help, and all of the moving pieces that make up getting and keeping a job. It's not easy to find and keep your ideal job, but autistic people can do hard things, and this book is here to help.

Changing Perceptions -...

Graham Chatterley

This timely book moves the dial on the perception of challenging behaviour in schools. De-escalation is important but it is only part of the process: if we really want to change behaviour, we have to understand it.
The causes of poor behaviour are many and varied: fear, stress, anxiety and the feeling of being overwhelmed can all take their toll.Changing Perceptionsexamines the motives behind challenging behaviour and the consequences that come with it, detailing ways in which these situations can be managed calmly and consistently. Better understanding and empathy can make children feel safer, build their trust, develop belonging and consequently create more effective learners in the classroom.
Empathy is the master key to unlocking the most challenging pupils. When we consistently respond to children with empathy and compassion, we don't just put a sticking plaster over a problem, we change their experiences: how they feel and how they behave long term. Importantly, this approach also greatly improves staff wellbeing by increasing understanding of challenging behaviour and how it is perceived.
In this book, Graham sets out why it is so important to teach behaviour and provides practical ways to deal with the most challenging situations in the classroom and stop the conflict spiral. He also covers the importance of validating feelings, building self-esteem, improving emotional resilience, raising expectations, fostering positive values and much more.
Essential reading for teachers, school leaders and everyone working with challenging behaviour.
