Böcker om Aspergers Syndrom och Arbete
Postat: 2012-03-05 2:41:01
Hej alla!
Jag hitta dessa tre böcker om arbete och Aspergers syndrom och tänkte jag skulle dela med mig av mina fynd. Samt koll ifall någon här har läst dem och har något att säga om dem innan jag köper dem.
Orsaken till att jag undrar är att på ett av gruppmöten på Vuxenhabiliteringen undrade en av psykologerna varför personer med asperger syndrom har svårt att få och behålla ett jobb. Det blev en intressant diskussion och jag blev nyfiken, nu är jag intresserad av att ta reda på varför.
