prospect - Educational Resources
Not only is a book on Asperger entrepreneurship long-overdue, but Rosalind may have shut down the need for future books on the subject. She has written a thoroughly complete, easy-to-read guide that will satisfy not just the budding entrepreneur who has some idea of what's required, but also the dreamer who has no clue where to start... An Asperger's Guide to Entrepreneurship had me exclaiming 'Finally!' too many times as I read it. It promises real hope, and positive change in the lives of so many of us.
