I am currently unemployed and am looking for work and have been for about 3 years now. I am on DLA with the Job Centre and they have sent to this place called 'People Plus' who don't understand my difficulties; (i.e. anxiety). They just seem to think "whatever". The Job Centre says they cannot do anything until my time with PeoplePlus is over in December; but I just cannot face going there anymore as they are mean and horrible to me.

Is there any recruitment places that specialize in people with Autism and Aspergers? I was on 'Remploy' and it didn't go anywhere at all and did try to go to AutismPlus but you have to pay £50 per session (which is ridiculous, IMO).

I am really struggeling. Please Help.
