Difficult Times (Aspergers) - Please Delete Topic

Chair

Hi,

I've been trying to get a job for 7 years now and I feel like giving up hope.  I can't even get a shelf stacking or trolley collection job at asda or tesco as there are 0 vacancies. 

I have some qualifications in computing: GNVQ intermediate and CLAIT and touchtyping skills, however applying for data entry jobs just turns a blind eye.

I just feel completely and utterly useless and what a waste of a life it's been thus far.  It's driving me insane.

I'm 24, currently receiving incapacity and disability, no contacts, friends but at least I can drive.

Perhaps I should start voluntary work and from there they might employ me if I do well?

Regards,

Chair

  • Support for aspergers is very weak, especially the highly educated graduates, people with dyspraxia, dyslexia and people who cannot get disability living allowance.

    People with aspergers will have poor prospects or no prospects. Competition is fierce, even fort people who do not have disabilities. What hope is there for people with special needs ? Who wants to employ peopler with AS. The government's approach is weak or non - existant.
