Description
'This book is essential reading for all those who want to challenge discrimination faced by workers with autism. Janine Booth is an active trade unionist and so her book is packed with practical advice and information that union reps, and autistic workers, need to improve working lives. Workers are better off in a trade union and this book will help make sure that this is true too for autistic workers.'
- Frances O'Grady, General Secretary of the Trade Union Congress
'Autism Equality in the Workplace has a new employment perspective on autism, which promises to bring out the best in everyone. This book is both a call to action and a highly practical guide to taking effective action. It's useful, entertaining, informative and easy to read.'
