This is a list of resources related to individuals with ASD in the workplace that I have come across. This list is not exhaustive, but may be a good place to start.
HIGHLIGHTS
Life Journey Through Autism: A Guide for Transition to Adulthood
I found this document via Caring4ourkids.com, a great resource for parents of kids with ASD, CFS, or Fibromyalgia.
Info for Job Applicants with Disabilities
The National Autistic Society’s (UK) Employment Tips
The National Autistic Society’s (UK) Finding Work Workbook
There are two versions of this workbook: paper (60 pounds) or digital (20 pounds). I really like this workbook. It is about 230 pages and is filled with helpful advice and fill-in areas. I would say that if you are going to read three employment resources, this should be one of them.
Institute for Community Inclusion Report on Supporting Individuals with ASD
Temple Grandin’s Advice on Presenting your Art (With Website Advice)
OTHER HELPFUL LINKS

This is a general resource for people preparing for transitioning to adulthood, but has some good employment advice as well.

This is a little random, but an important issue for families with children with ASD.
SOME HELPFUL BOOKS/HANDBOOKS
(I realize that the books so far are all focused on high-functioning ASD. I will add others soon.)
Asperger Syndrome Employment Workbook
By Roger N. Meyer, Foreword by Tony Attwood
If you are on the spectrum, or are working with someone who is on the spectrum, and are trying to figure out your career path, you will want to consider this book. The book is basically broken down into two parts, a part that describes aspects of autism that may affect how someone with autism functions in the workplace and a workbook part that helps a person with autism to self-reflect and break down what works for him/her and what doesn’t. The idea is that the more one knows about how one works, the easier it will be to find a good fit.
