[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 623892, member: 1550"] Daze, from first hand experience, telling employers about your disabilities doesn't work well. Often you are not hired because of it and you are told it is a different reason...but employers want to hire people who can get there on time (and this is one thing he CAN do just by getting a louder alarm) and who can do the job well. In my experience, it is best to try to get on bonafide disability so that he not only gets some disability for himself, but is eligible for work placement services for those with disabilities. I have fought similar types of disabilities and tried relying on the compassion of employers, telling, not telling...in the end, the only thing that worked was getting labeled as disabled and getting services. My son Sonic is also getting services, but, being younger, things are much more hopeful for him. At some point in time, some of us (not all by any means) have to admit that our adult children ARE disabled and will need help in this world. That's ok. It's not a bad thing to get help if you need help. It's a GOOD thing to know what you need and to be good to yourself by helping yourself live a better life. His problems sound similar to mine and I just kept feeling worse and worse about myself every time I made dumb mistakes and got fired. It happened a lot. [/QUOTE]
