I shall tell you why
"The head of the Enterprise Business Unit at Vodafone, Kyle Whitehill, probably spoke for many
employers when he told a conference that "the two most important skills in the workplace are
interpersonal skills and presentational skills".
He did not, please note, prioritise acquisition of academic knowledge or evidence of the ability to
memorise large slabs of information. "

So in effect all my education means nothing because I have a condition which effects my capacity to
develop interpersonal skills in the way in which neurotypical society expects them to be apparent.
There is the social model of disability writ large and the absurdity of what western capitalism has
become, no wonder business is failing they want people who can do the job, just people who look
presentable.
Social Affairs Officer? Not on my life.
