Explain…

Normies manage to.

#3

I think it’s more tough for those with disability to get a job than those without.

#4

I’m reffering with people like us with some cognitive issues

#5

I think some people manage to and I’m going to start job hunting again once I’ve finished my course…

Sure but you need the right job.
Thank to the illness I could do the night janitor or the lighthouse keeper. Now I work as my grandma’s caregiver 16 hours a day and I clearly see that a normie would become insane but I’m already therefore it is not a problem for me :stuck_out_tongue: .

I’m seeking for an internship. I was approved for two of them in fact (one I refused and the other I couldn’t take because I wasn’t in college). It’s possible to get a job without disability.

If you have too much cognitive symptoms, you can look for a job for people who have psychosocial disability (those who have schizophrenia for example). Here in Brazil, if you have schizophrenia, you are considered a person white psychosocial disability, so there are specfic jobs for these people. Maybe in you country you have the same laws.

Here, to get a dissability you need to pass some proves and interviews and it takes time and you have to involve some relative too, it’s not just the diagnosis…

Bsc(hons)computing and It, as a open university student.

At my current rate of progress I’ll graduate in 2yrs time.

I tried going back to full time work once and it was horrible. You need to be healthy. Can you try volunteering first?

I don’t know yet. But they are probably jobs that won’t overwhelm the person.

#16

I don’t know where to go… :confused: I never search for it

#17

Pet shelter or hospital. Can you ask your doctor to give you a list?

Honestly I’d like to work/volunteer in the hospital

Depends on your abilities I guess and what is demanded.
I am sure in your town -if you google (volunteer blabla for example) you’ll get a bunch of links.
