| The play was called 'Inside Out' and had six service users in it plus myself and 3 or 4 members of the theatre company we were working with. Of the six, three had substance misuse issues, two had mental health issues and one had a learning disability. |

What was the learning disability?
I personally had loss of hearing due to a
car accidents(age 2) and speech therapy,
thus stuttering at a young age, and communication
issues that would follow me!
What mental disabilities?
Hmmmmm?
How long was the play?
Sincerely,
Ghosthunter |

| Ugg I'm conscripted into middle management in the Armed Forces. Its alright Ive learned alot of my eight years in forced servitude. Anyone else have to manage a good number of people? Pretty much I write reports for funding request, hold accountability, and destroy my people at physical training... But I dont really find it a fulfilling job! Anyone else in the same shoes? |

Linen room attendant at the local hospital, food prep at Mrs. Fields, and now pizza delivery driver. I'm going to quit the Mrs. Fields job. I just can't get it over there. I'm the weakest link, and I'm already thriving at my new delivery job, where I can can take home tips every night, which is the instant gratification anyone wouldn't mind. It's only four towns which I drive around in, which are all rather rural settings. It's perfect, I think. Hopefully this is what I need to get more money and move out soon.
I think I might have some sort of auditory processing disorder. I'll have to look into it, though i think I already missed one of my therapy appointments.
Seriously, though, I love this job, mostly because I've realized how good I am at finding places so much as I have a map and a decent idea how to get to my destination, which work provides just fine. It's the best job I've had so far. Still not my chosen field, but one step at a time, right? |

I'm a Quality Control Analyst. I enjoy my job I don't have to interact with too many people during the day, I get to play with chemicals and enzymes all day and the few people I interact with I've learnt social skills from  |

good.. my cousin is 24 never speaks unless spoken to and now works as an aerospace engineer/rocket scientist. Started at 23. Never talks.
I haven't gotten out of HS yet, but i will in June. Its a good job though. I can work from home and at the office (which is really a dorm suite) and I don't have "hours" in that I just come in when I'm needed or when i want to.
I'm really excited about it. I got my first paycheck after working for only 8.75 hours. |

I'm more the creative type and unfortunately arts is much harder to succeed in because it's more a 'who you know' field (as opposed to a 'what you know' field) and that can be hard for aspies.[/quote]

As it says in the name..Thane of Bar and Cellar.
I'm a Personal license holder working in a bar/music venue as barman, cellar supervisor, handyman, and general all round chap who does random jobs, working security etc. From jobshy long term unemployed to tradesman in a year. Good Times.
Even though the hours are shocking, and i spend most shifts three inches from a fight, and am now effectively responsible for hundreds of fully grown inebriated morons and my feet are killing me and I cant stand most of the people I'm forced to meet, and i'm not actually allowed to damage them...

| I proofread and edit scientific articles for a university that wants to start making a name for itself in the academic arena. Judging from what I've read so far of their work, I wish them luck. |

I'm a Photoshop monkey for a pretty large website, it's about 30% image processing/touching up, sometimes creating ad banners for customers, and 70% data entry (which I've always enjoyed). Good relaxed environment, though a bit noisy, I pretty much have to work between 6am and 6pm, 40 hours a week, breaks and lunch whenever I want, as many as I want as long as my work is done. Aaand...NO PHONE WORK! I don't even login to my phone most of the time. We're not supposed to do that  |

| I've done fast food, I really hated it. I've done IED patrols in Iraq, and I can't say it's as dangerous as its made out to be. Right now I work in an army hospital as medic (about the lowest skilled position) I'm just working on my RN. |
