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?

    when I used to work in programming, almost every team I was on had that one person who never talks to anyone.  You just give them their work and they sit down quietly and concentratedly and carry it out.  They're a valuable member of the team;  you just don't ask them to talk to the users.  And with hindsight I suspect some of them did indeed have Aspergers.

    And that person may well have been me! :-)
