Entrepreneurship can be an ideal career option for enterprising individuals with Asperger Syndrome (Autism Spectrum Disorder) and this detailed guide explains how to tell if being self-employed is right for you and how to go about starting and growing your own business. Written by a successful entrepreneur and business consultant with Asperger Syndrome, this book provides all the guidance you need on the practicalities of starting up a company.
The unique strengths that Asperger leaders can bring to a new business venture are highlighted and solutions are offered for elements of entrepreneurship that can create stumbling blocks such as developing working relationships within your company, marketing yourself and your business, managing finances, networking and maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Full of pragmatic advice, case studies from established business owners with Asperger Syndrome and practical tools for professional development, this is an essential startup handbook for anyone on the spectrum considering making the leap to becoming an entrepreneur.

This was such a good book to read. Not only has it addressed a significant gap in the market, it is also written in an easy to follow manner with several exercises and toolkits to help you get to where you want to be. This is the first book from Rosalind Bergemann I have read, but I have now ordered her other book on Change Management, and have pre-ordered the one on public speaking.
If you are looking to start your own business - whether you are someone with Aspergers or not - this book is going to be useful.
