| I had difficulties all through school and into adult life. They said there was nothing going on. At 34, I got a diagnosis of Asperger syndrome, dyslexia and dyspraxia. |

| What I would tell anyone.... Get the means to do basic yard work or house/office cleaning. If you are good at living within a budget, it's something everyone needs, and if you are cheap enough and always can do good work, you'll get more customers. Even in a bad economy, people will part with a few... |

Well... about 3 yrs since OP posted her text.
I'm curious as to how she got on. Hopefully, she did well.
Psychology is a wonderful discipline to be involved in. |

They can be useful but they are very much made for limited ranges of application. |

I would definitely say 'No'.
That isn't really work. You get paid a token amount for your time, but it isn't really a job. |

I'd like them to understand that 40% disabled is not equal to 100% disabled.
Finnish employers and job centre employees seem to have trouble understanding the following inequality: 100 - 40 > 0. |
