「不知道何時該連絡什麼事項才對。」「明明沒有任何惡意，但同事的態度卻逐漸變得冷淡。」「即使參加會議，也跟不上進度，不知道該說什麼才好。」「不擅長講電話，也不會加入閒聊……」發展障礙者在職場常會陷入上述的苦惱中，莫名的與同事產生隔閡，甚至惹怒對方，而且明明自己很努力做好，卻還是常被唸不用心、態度差，到底問題出在哪裡呢？別擔心！就讓有相處經驗的輔導員協助您找出原因、改善問題。★本系列聚焦在哪些發展障礙類型呢？發展障礙有許多不同種類，本系列聚焦介紹ADHD/ADD（注意力不足過動症）、ASD（自閉症類群障礙）及LD（學習障礙）等代表性的發展障礙應對策略。旨在提供一個全面的資源，幫助發展障礙人士在各個方面提升自我管理能力。★第一線輔導員親自執筆作者任職於SARA就業補習班（さら就労塾@ぽれぽれ），這是日本一家支援發展障礙者或就業困難人群的社福服機構，提供職業培訓、就業安置以及工作適應輔導等，旨在幫助特定群體融入社會並實現穩定就業。兩位執筆者擁有第一線的輔導經驗，深刻了解發展障礙者常見的煩惱，在本書中分析其原因，然後透過具體的對策與步驟來解決。＃宛如親切的輔導員在身邊協助！★掌握技巧，才能長期相處這本書不僅是一本指南，也是一部充滿希望與啟發的作品。適合所有希望了解和支持發展障礙者的人士閱讀。期許讀完本書的你，無論是當事人、親友還是專業人士，都能從中找出適用的部分獲得幫助，試著用它們來解決目前的問題吧！［本書架構］Point 1介紹發展障礙者在生活中會直接遇到的各種煩惱事例。Point 2從醫學的角度切入，分析造成問題發生的原因。Point 3從非醫學的角度切入，介紹當事人可運用在日常生活中的應對方法。Point 4 筆者從自身經驗整理出可以「事先」避免失誤的豐富小秘訣。範例：Point 1煩惱事例明明沒有那個意思，卻被說「態度很冷淡」Point 2分析原因之所以會被說「態度很冷淡」，我可以想到許多種理由。以有ASD傾向的人來說，我認為主要理由是表情和語氣。有ASD或ADHD傾向的人，會受到「不擅長同時處理多項工作」這項特性的影響。「必須笑才行」為了盡全力地露出表情，所以無法進行最重要的對話，或是沒有理解對方所說的話。Point 3 應用方法如果可以的話，從一開始打招呼到交換名片為止， 都要多留意，保持笑容。一旦開始聊工作的事情後，就可以不用考慮表情的事，但也不能反過來地勉強抑
