Résumé : |
The author was late diagnosed with Asperger syndrome and works as a librarian at the University of London. In this paper, she considers why librarianship is often cited as an appropriate career for able autistic people. She argues little has been written as to why this might be and so uses her own personal experience to suggest which characteristics often seen in autistic people, lend themselves to the profession. The author also identifies some of the issues that might arise in the workplace and how these might be addressed. She makes the point that much of this applies to other fields and so the paper has relevance to other types of employment. The Editor welcomes more papers written on the workplace experiences of autistic adults. |
