With the phenomenal increase in the prevalence of autism in the world today, there will be increasingly more adults on the autism spectrum entering the workforce. With an estimated 50,000 young people with autism reaching the typical working age each year, this topic demands attention. The employment rate is low among adults with autism, although many are high functioning. Many of those adults will require understanding and perhaps simple modifications to become successful and important team members. Employers and co-workers may have the responsibility of hiring, training, and retaining employees with certain skills. Others will have a different challenge working side by side with a person who may think differently and act differently than you do. To have a successful work environment, both of those roles carry a heavy responsibility, understanding of a different perspective, and a loving spirit. The responsibility to keep this group of workers safe and productive requires a basic understanding of autism. Knowledge is power, and in this book, we offer you that knowledge.

As a nation, Americans eat out between four and five times a week. It is a common convenience that most families take for granted. For families with a child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), that ease and convenience is often replaced with embarrassment and rejection. The family who planned a celebration may feel that they were subjected instead to a nightmare experience. The communication challenges they face, complicated by common characteristics of people with autism, can combine to create an unhappy experience for the family, the restaurant staff, and the other patrons. Enlightened restaurants are beginning to realize that the ensuing meltdowns can be prevented rather than handling them when they are full-blown. With some small changes, staff understanding, and tweaking of routine procedures, many problems and melt-downs can be prevented. With smooth family service, the family has the quality dining experience and the restaurant has retained a happy customer, more likely to return to patronize that establishment again.
