The job centre have now referred me to the government RESTART scheme, run by a private company called Maximus.
Yesterday I had my induction, phone appointment. As part of this induction they asked about my health and disabilities and the women on the line often repeated what I said, to double check the accuracy. I mentioned autism, she repeated, ' you suffer from the mental illness autism.'
Just an update.
This morning I was on my way to the latest scheme, run by the job centre and I got a phone call. It's been postponed because they've had a positive COVID test and the offices are closed for a deep clean.
Currently I am on three similar schemes.
I was also 'invited' by the Jobcentre to join an online DY ( Developing you) course.
I would rather get a job, instead another thing like that, if I did not have a job
I mean I would expect that from them
That's what they are trying to do, get me into work.
Unfortunately when I find work I get fired very quickly because of my autism/body language/behaviour/other unspecified reasons.
