OK then, contact the MENCAP Pathway employement officer. There is a service not too far from
you in Islington. The Pathway Officer should have lots of employer contacts in the area who
are willing to offer work placements to people with learning difficulties - including autism
and including office work. Telephone the Head Office (0171 454 0454) for details (i.e Phone
number). Last I heard the Pathway Officer was based at 404 Camden Road, N7.
