Employment figures and prospects have been updated, and new jobs have been added that are well suited for those on the spectrum.

Detailed lists provide balanced guidelines for success, while Rudy's "Interview Tips" and "Personal Job Map" tools will help Aspergians, young or old, find their employment niche.
