Re: Little experiment; What do you all do?
I guess I could say that I am creative to some extent - I studded and worked with stage and event lighting and graphics (i.e. video) when i was at uni and also at school. Not being good at painting meant I didn't really want to study art. I do want to get back into lighting and that is my main focus...

Re: I'm Dusgusted by this!
Thats really bad and out of order - the boss should at least tell him straight instead of just fobbing him off. Its clear discrimination as its 'well your autistic so you can't work' when before he was working there a lot - I mean is the boss frightened of this or has things changed. I would suggest...

As I have said before and many if not all who use the job center and / or ATOS say is that it is rubbish and a massive waste of time. Its like a game that you have to play if you dont play the 'game' then you wont get anything. You almost have to cheat the system to get somthing out of it that your ...
