Personal Presentation

From Autism Transition Handbook

As an employee, your young adult will represent the company he works for. People also make judgments about an individual based on his appearance. Therefore, it is important that your young adult present himself appropriately and professionally. Aspects of personal presentation include:

• Age- and job-appropriate clothing and footwear
• General cleanliness and good hygiene
• Grooming of hair, teeth, and nails
• Interpersonal greetings ranging from someone saying “Hello” to shaking hands and initiating an introduction
• Issues related to sexual orientation
