A possible last resort, if I am forced onto Workfare

Post Reply New Topic

Thank you for your help but a lot of the energy drinks around here are heavy on caffeine, sugar and very long chemical words which I can't spell and don't want to drink.

I'll definitely look out for some healthy ones, can you recommend any?

Dear Technodog,

Can't quite follow your e-mail, perhaps if you explain it very simply for me, I certainly agree that drugs should be tested again. I also think they should be tested for longer, like at least a decade, or two before being put on the market, but I can't see that happening.

Does anybody know if there is any collection of checkable and reliable data anywhere on effects of any mood change or drugs on autistic spectrum people compared with the same amount / strength of same drugs on neuro-typical people of similiar age, backgrounds etc. This might be interesting to read through.

All the best

THIS.

Sheesh. So many lazy people who refuse to work around here. Glad you, WhiteWidow, see work how it should be seen.

Who cares if you don't like to work? Most people don't LIKE working, but they work to make a life FOR themselves... instead of sponging off taxpayers through welfare and generally being a lazy bum.

In your situation, glad your mother can bankroll your life.

So do you just look for anyone on this site who mentions welfare so you can rip on them and make an ass of yourself with your rhetoric?..or is it just a coincidence you happen to read every thread that mentions it and leave a bunch of hate filled rhetoric towards people you don't even know, because you personally don't feel they should be on welfare or even consider it.

Here's an idea this website is not a place for personal attacks so knock it off.

Sheesh. So many self-righteous people who are only here to pass judgment and appease the anger caused by their own prejudices.

Are you not aware that this is a site for people with aspergers and autism? People here have varying degrees of impairment and while some are able to work some can't work or are impaired enough that while they may be able to work in some situations their impairments discourage employers from even giving them a chance to try.

It's not nice kicking people while they are down.

It doesn't matter whether I like it or not. I can't do it and no one will hire me anyways. Almost every application I've put in in my life were ignored and I've never had a successful interview.

I'm just lucky my mother supports me or I'd be homeless and probably end up being one of those homeless people that you hear about that freeze to death in some abandoned building in the winter.

It might sound like madness but have you tried Meditation?

I've now had enough of this work programme. I've spent the last week with depression and severe headaches. (which GP doesn't think is related to having brain cysts)

I asked to be signed off and when we were talking about it, said I would think about it. I want to work; but can't deal with the ignorance and being called a liar by my "adviser".

It was so much better when it was just dealing with the job centre.

I may have been offered a job I can do; but not heard anything yet. I'm lucky that the potential boss has a son (who is much younger than me; but we have a lot of similar traits) on the spectrum.

How can you make such statements about someone you've never even met? Are there lazy people that leach off others? Yes, but you have no idea what this persons is like and what difficulties they have. You are assuming based on a few words they wrote on an internet forum.

Many disabled people (not just those with ASD) want to work. But it's impossible due to ignorance and so on. I would love to work; but with some triggers, it's impossible.

OP, have you tried Focus Factor or other such vitamin compounds aimed at the brain? I have serious insomnia sometimes, and a dose of Focus Factor (or the CVS generic Focus Smart) is sometimes the only way to get started in the morning. There's a lot of crazy stuff in them, but little your body doesn't already try to produce. I wouldn't have been able to sustain the work environment of a special needs center school with no employee accountability probably at all, nevertheless as long as I did, without them.
