Autipower! ― Successful Living and Working With an Autism Spectrum Disorder

This volume profiles 19 individuals with autism spectrum disorder who have managed to live successful and fulfilling lives in spite of the condition. The authors leave any analysis to the subjects themselves, who discuss how autism impacts their lives and describe how they manage it as they have carved out successful careers for themselves (many involving helping others with autism).
