Getting a Job

Isnt it really unfair that employers turn people away because they have HFA or Asperger syndrome?? 

I believe there isnt a lot of support from the UK government when it comes to tackling job employment for the disabled. Would i be right in saying that??

Who on here actually has a part-time or full-time job?

    Slightly off-topic but the US government diplomatic corps have a way round this. When they are asked about references which are not very good ones - so they can't write anything down that can be construed as far too truthfully accurate - the conversation will go like this:

    Querent: "What's Bob like as an employee?"

    USG: "How about we talk about the weather, instead?"

    Querent: "Uh..okay. What's the weather like?"

    USG: "It's lazy, and has no sense of motivation. It also has a terrible attitude to its work."
