Sounds good. I have used schemes like this in the UK and they have really helped and mean that I have a good job with no bullying.
Unfortunate building number though! |

No opinion on this yet, too soon to tell. In theory, I'm in favor of matching up people who haven't found their niche with potential job openings. At first, I thought it wasn't the right site because homepage said all sorts of stuff about teaching dx'd kids, and that's not what I had in mind from announcement here about jobs for dx'd adults.
The link provided in original post was missing underscore or inclusion of last couple letters in the url, so I had to click, stop loading page & add remainder of what it was.
Directly to the relevant section of site:

| Furniture movers, occasional babysitting, telephone soliciting (fund raising), hope this gets better. |

Hi fellow Aspies,
That's great! Now, if we could just get something like that in South Africa.....hopefully our autism / A.S. non-profit organisations here are working on something. I'd love to know how many Aspies here in S.A. are struggling to find work or they get bullied at work. (Just as a side-note, I now feel that I was teased to bits by this guy who has now left my workplace, and I think he just loved to get a reaction out of me, which he did, every time.)
I hope you guys get a lot of Aspies coming through the door!
Best of luck, Roy. |

I posted a job there.
I think it'd be really neat if I got to work with someone else on the spectrum. |

| My first impression is that this is too good to be true. But has anyone tried this and found success? If so then I just might give it a shot. Ive been looking for something like this as I was just about to start a thread about affirmative action. BTW, is it local to the NY area only? I live in PDX/Northwest. |
