Are there some LinkedIn groups or companies I can join/add that specialize in or are particularly willing to hire people with psychological disabilities?

I must admit, I haven't come across any, but the best way to search for them would be to hang around on LinkedIn and start trawling through the thousands of groups :) Make your case known and update your profile to reflect that you are keen on working with companies who are willing to hire people with disabilities and perhaps they will find you. You could also start a group yourself and that would hopefully attract like-minded followers. Good luck!

You could look at this site: http://www.aspiritech.org/

or this: http://blog.utest.com/does-aspergers-ma ... r/2011/03/

I don't know if these are for real companies, or what has become of them. But there is one in Europe too but I'm not sure how big they are.
