Quote: El Diablo "I would suggest that if you're applying for "thousands" of jobs, you're probably not being selective enough. There really is no point in applying for something you're blatantly unsuited to, and I can't believe there are literally thousands of job descriptions that most people would read and genuinely say "ooh, yeah, that sounds like me."'"


This as well.

Quote: "I must be missing something also. All I can get in my head is 100 jobs applied for. I hope that is incorrect, because 100 in that time period in this climate, is sheer laziness. People out there, especially the ones he's trying to make out he want's to help out here, who have been applying for thousands of jobs without success. Your story looks embarrasing to those.'"


Maybe you should aim your negative comments at some of the low life good for nothings that would rather spend their time in a pub, spending our hard earned tax when THEY should be applying for jobs. I also don't see the point of applying for jobs that are completely unsuitable for you, if you have a qualification in tourism but their are no jobs going you wouldn't apply to become a computer programmer would you? Yes there are many jobs on the market vacant but the vast majority are skilled jobs. If Damons project gets him a job then it was well worth it, if it helps get others jobs then it is a fantastic success and you should be applauding his efforts. With the right help this project could be very successful, the fact the YEP and other organisations have picked up on it says it is a project well worth attempting. I for one will be helping Damo in getting this project off of the ground and I wish him the very best of luck!

Perhaps you missed the bit where our Damo admitted being drunk when calling into the job centre? icon_biggrin.gif

Good luck if this idea gets you into fulltime employment Damo, but as for investing.....I'm out!

Haha, yeah true. That doesn't surprise me - I also remembering him turning up to college an hour + late, when asked the reason "I wanted a coffee from McDonalds" - good old Damo.

Well done young man . I really hope some of the people that have abused you on here hang their heads in shame and dig deep in their pockets when they read the bit about the Aspergers diagnosis . There are a lot of people on these boards that think you are a bit special(needs) . You may or may not be , but if you are , you are our special person .




DAMO .... We love him because he is special .

Cheers for the support Rick icon_smile.gif

With regards to Aspergers it’s a very misunderstood condition. The worse aspects of the condition tends to come out when people who are diagnosed are facing too much crap in their lives like unemployment in my case.

However having coming across various people with Aspergers (including those in jobs) I’ve concluded (this isn’t a professional opinion) that the condition becomes pretty much non-existent if the person diagnosed are living a reasonable life. For example I can go months on end without even thinking about the condition because I’m not surrounded by people and things that constantly remind me that I’ve got it a majority of the time.

Last week I popped along to Leeds Asperger Adults and some of the stuff they were suggesting adults should do was insulting. The first suggestion was that we could go to an Autism friendly cinema screening to see Happy Feet 2. Now everyone in the meeting has done fine (I’m the youngest there by far) going to the cinema in the past. Besides isn’t Happy Feet a kids film? Also I wouldn't want to watch a film where people are allowed to make as much noise as their want and move around all they want. It's as if these things encourage people with disabilitys to act like that rather than civilised.

Then they suggest we go on ‘autism friendly’ day trips like bowling and whatever. It’s as if we’re totally incapable of organising these things ourselves. I only went back to the group because it was hard to keep in touch with people since I decided to leave last year. I’ve met some great mates there and I hope to keep in touch. But as I said in the meeting I don’t want to get involved with autism politics.

I feel that overall there’s a vested financial interest for some people to treat adults with Aspergers like kids. There’s big funding like the big lottery fund to encourage this. A majority of people I’ve met with Aspergers don’t really use the services on offer because there shoddy and unsuitable. When I raised these points in the meeting I was faced with dramatics by the powers that be and those who are mollycoddled by the powers that be. There was only around 10 of us at that meeting and that’s in a city full of people with Aspergers.

Finally I’ve learnt in life you’ve got to choose the right battles to fight at the right time. At Present I don’t have the resources or the right support to take on the vested interests in the Aspergers community.

On the other hand I’ve got the right skills, resources and support to carry out what I’m carrying out with regards to the unemployment stuff. Plus I’ve got the personal backing of the deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg to round it all off. I acknowledge that I’m only one person and I can’t do everything at once! icon_smile.gif

Thanks for the on-going support mate and the website is looking mint!

People should check out his stuff - Thanks for the well wishes mate icon_smile.gif

If going into the job centre drunk is a crime then press criminal charges against me icon_wink.gif

I'm confident that by next week I'll have some funding so I don't have to go through psychological torture every time I happen to get one of the jobs worth’s as an advisor. Thankfully most of the time I get advisors that have modern values/morals.

Quote: Damo-Leeds "Cheers for the support Rick
That's a bit disappointing. You would think an Aspergers group, of all things, would understand the condition a bit better than that. I guess it's a spectrum in severity but I have two pretty good friends with Aspergers, and there's nothing wrong with their mental function at all. One of them does have a wonderful habit of saying whatever comes into her head with no consideration for the consequences. They're both perfectly capable of going to a cinema by themselves, and no more likely to choose a kid's film than I am. WHich is to say quite likely, but not because of their Aspergers...

These groups will get their well deserved comeuppance eventually. It’s only a matter of time before the anti-workfare activist turn their activism onto exploitive disability organisations. It’s nice to see that Tesco stores are getting occupied by these activist with regards to them advertising a job working for your JSA on the jobcentre plus website. Ok the advertisement was an error by staff at the job centre but there are people working for their JSA up and down the country.

That's quite a can of worms our Damo has unleashed down Westminster way.

This one's caught in the crosshairs and there can be no escape

If only the politicians had read this board before getting involved.
