This is beyond condescending.
Both the book’s content and the reader’s tone made me feel like a defenseless toddler as I listened to this. This is NOT practical or useful advice. There’s very little here that differentiates this from just another ordinary “succeed at work” book. Do yourself a favor and get a book by a true specialist instead.

Informative, but no depth
I was disappointed by the lack of information. what was provided was okay but I was left going, "Huh? that's it?" It's the kind of book that would help teenager (if they would take the time) but not adult level, except as a summary or introduction.

For the younger aspie
Geared to an aspie starting out in life, this nevertheless offers a few pointers to older aspies with problems- -- but not nearly as many as the title could be taken to imply it does.
