I don't have to read it I know it already, they have started with me,
sneakily writing to my Dr before Christmas.
I would mind if the Government could offer a serious alternative, but it was
bad enough when I was signing on, so far as failure to understand
neurodiversity was concerned, but they have been consistently cutting back
on jobcentre services and failing to see the Social model perspective of
employer prejudice and failure to adapt as the main reason people like me
can't find employment.
There is no bloody training service they can offer that could make me read
any better or count any better than I can, and so financing my way through
University is my best hope for the future. But they don't see it that way do
they, I should be stacking shelves in Sainsbury's and dying an early death
to massage the statistics.
Judging by the comments on that article the public don't like us do they.
Any of you safe as houses academics prepared to offer me a job then as
Yosser Hughes used to say in the Boys from the Blackstuff "I can do that"
