It’s written for both neurotypical and Neurodivergent teen and adult readers to better understand the powerful ways in which we “read” not only what people mean by what they say, but also how others perceive how we emotionally relate. This book is also a good primer for neurotypical employers\/employees or HR departments to read about the experiences and perspectives of Neurodivergent coworkers and perhaps develop empathy for the complexity of the bi-directional social learning process. Provides practical strategies for how to effectively work in a group, understand the hidden rules of the social world—including workplace etiquette and politics—and build relationships.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost people are born with an intuitive sense of the social world that allows them to naturally be aware of social expectations and feeds them the information they need to follow the social code. But not everyone is born with intuitive social understanding. Social learning differences, difficulties, or disabilities can be especially challenging in the workplace, where it’s assumed employees understand not only how to do their job but how to effectively work in a group, understand the hidden rules of office etiquette and office politics, and build and maintain solid professional relationships with others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \n\u003cp\u003eWe all want to be appreciated for who we are and how we contribute, but if our messages are communicated in a way where others feel confused or hurt, then the good intention underlying the message is lost. As a result, it’s often tough for these individuals to build the relationships and reputation necessary to excel in the workplace, regardless of their expertise or how hard they work. This book is also a good way for neurotypical employers and employees to better understand the perspectives of their Neurodivergent coworkers, as well as show empathy and sensitivity for the difficult social learning process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \n\u003cp\u003eGiven years of feedback from our clients, teens and adults with social learning differences, difficulties, or disabilities often need information about social emotional relationships broken down and explained in a way that can help them build skills and understanding, one step at a time. This book does just that—it is a constructive and detailed guide to help teens and adults learn how to do the “social dance” to build stronger relationships at work and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \n\u003cp\u003eThis book is also a good primer for neurotypical employers\/employees or HR departments to read about the experiences and perspectives of Neurodivergent coworkers, and perhaps develop empathy for the complexity of the bi-directional social learning process. It provides practical strategies for how to effectively work in a group, understand the hidden rules of the social world—including workplace etiquette and politics—and build relationships. It also encourages employees to self-advocate when needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \n\u003ch3 class=\"font-semibold leading-[1.25] max-sm:text-[18px] max-md:text-[18px] max-lg:text-[22px] text-[28px] mb-[20px]\"\u003ePowerful, Practical Strategies\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSocial Thinking at Work\u003c\/i\u003e contains easily accessible information about core concepts that describe how we think about our own and others’ thoughts and emotions, actions and reactions, intentions, and motives.
