On the use of forms

Hairyloon

I've been fighting with the court about their application forms as a point of principle, but in the course of proceedings the question has raised of whether people with divergent mental makeup might actually really struggle.
They do give me some trouble, when they ask questions that are not relevant in my case: there is always some doubt about leaving things blank.

While i hesitate to call autism a disability, it is legally recognised as one, and if people do actually struggle with unnecessary forms, then maybe I should carry on the fight for their benefit.

Any thoughts?

  • I don't find forms easy. I can't tell if this is more than any one else.

    They often ask questions in ways that are ambiguous or misleading. E.g. I wanted to put my number plate on retention, something lots of people do all the time, but had to get someone to help. It'l wasn't me, you're just not supposed to take it all literally.

    Sometimes official forms come with explanatory notes.
