For those of you who can't work due to prejudice keep mind their ignorance and cruelity is costing them big time, keep in mind their taxes are paying your income.(if you're on disability benefits)


You would think the gov't would do everything in its power to make sure you keep a job and companies don't discriminate against you, but I guess it's just  a matter of more goverment waste.

Even though I've recently got my formal diagnosis, I won't check such boxes when I have to hunt for a job. To get into the specialisms of my preferences is pretty tough as it is, I can't have an inch of ink ruining it for me before I get the chance to prove myself.

Plus, I don't consider myself to be disabled, nor do my colleagues.

His label gives him inhuman powers, I bet.

Wish my label would do the same. :|

I have to do a lot of repetitive work. Occasionally I have to do something that makes my mind work, so I like the balance of predictibility with interesting challenges from time to time.

BTW my employer knows I have a disablity and they accept as I am. 8)
