What the employee can do:

Monitor yourself. Alter your routine now and then, in any form, whether pertaining to what or where you eat, how you dress, how you look, which way you drive to work, what you do on a Sunday or before bed. Shake it up a bit.

When you are with friends, family, even pets, watch how much control you are exercising over others. Too much rigid adherence to control can make it very difficult to maintain healthy relationships of any sort. There is a film starring Jack Nicholson called As Good As It Gets (1997) in which his character Melvin, an author, is a classic high-functioning Aspergian. Although it has the usual syrupy Hollywood ending, it illustrates this point beautifully and is a fun way to spend two hours.

Do have faith in your own abilities and learn to stand your ground when necessary—but work on your style of delivery (see the chapters on communication).

If you are in a position of authority over others, learn to delegate without scrutiny yourself; relinquish control from time to time. Use the visual analogy of a chef in a restaurant—you don’t go into the kitchen to check on his work, do you? If the staff is well-trained, all will likely be well.
