Introduction	I started writing this blog about my experiences of looking for work from early 2008 given that I have a relatively moderate condition of Asperger syndrome. I was in the classic Catch 22 of not being impaired enough to be deemed "incapable of work" in the benefit system, but finding employers' requirements for "good / excellent communication skills" meant that I would not often be their first choice of person. I became employed in 2011 with my breakthrough being an agency job I started in May going medium term and at the end of September, transferring onto the employer's own books, and had 8 really good years there until restructuring led to redundancy October 2019 as my team has been outsourced to a partner company based 150 miles away. I wish to remain anonymous hence no full name or photo on this profile.
