Ant123

hi all, i'm here on behalf of my aspergers daughter, she's 21 and just finished uni with a degree in games art, she is now unemployed so i'm trying to help her claim benefits, benefit enquieries told me to tell her to claim jobseekers but she can't cope with the stress of all the job applications she has to do and as told me she is going to cancel her claim, we need the money and i dont know what to do, she doesn't get any other benefits and never has, surely there must be some help out there for her, would love some help from anyone in similar position, thx

  • Funny how officials seem to have it in their heads that somehow, before diagnosis, you hadn't got it, and something had changed meaning you'd suddenly developed it.

    I met up with a lot of this idiocy when I was diagnosed. There really needs to be more done to educate and train, but as I've found out the £500,000 the Government allocated to develop training and awareness packages came to naught. We still don't have any decent training and awareness material.

    And NAS was one of the 8 recipients of this fund and they still haven't explained what happened to their training and awareness package.
