One of my 2025 highlights was this review of Autistics at Work by the brilliant Kay Kerr.
"A thorough and insightful look at what it means to be autistic in the workplace. This book is beyond what I imagined it might be-a guide to maximising the output of a particular kind of mind-exploring true inclusivity and ongoing accommodations as a starting point. It also expands on what employment might and could look like for autistic people outside of neurotypical expectations. Sandra's own experiences as an autistic worker bring so much to the page. I loved it." - Kay Kerr
