| That's exactly it. I was the one the volunteer the asperger's due to my difficulties with organisation. big mistake really in hindsight. They have used this as an excuse to latch on to.

| Wow you poor bugger, that must be awful but yeah like you said, factory work isn't bad, it's rigid,methodical and therefore less likely to cause any form of anxiety in that department. The JC have been fairly strict but since mentioning of the Asperger's they have taken a few steps back. I see what ... |

Such comments like "His asperger's is unrelated, he's playing on it" and "He knew exactly what he was doing and he had every intention to destroy the... |
