Ironically it is.
I helped set up the local one and they day before opening they said "We simply don't feel comfortable with you representing us in the public eye." All I said was You want me to finish the shift or go now?
I'd been let go from so many jobs by that point for unannounced reasons that I didn't question it.
I now know it was due to my having AS.
Hey has anybody ever sued for discrimination over AS? I know nobody wants to be somewhere theyre not and I have read some threads on this but never heard what our rights are exactlly.
Cause discrimination is bad you know.
I'm going back to my Daves only thread now.

I'm pretty sure that in order to sue for discrimination of your AS, the place that hired you would have to have known about it before they hired you (or fired you? not sure).
That's gay though... I put in an application at Michaels and the bastards never even called me. I filled out their stupid questionnaire thing. The one with the questions like "If a customer was rude to you, how often would you say you'd punch him?" or "How often do you find yourself smoking a joint?"
Maybe it's because I was honest. Probably. "Yes I occasionally smoke pot but never before work or at work". Apparently that's not good enough. I don't "fit in" with the Michaels "persona".
Unfortunately I still fork out crap loads of money for them because they have really nice stuff
Actually I think the real mistake was either of us going to Michaels in the first place. WE'RE too good for them.
