Hi everybody . In the past 12 months my 26 yr old son has finally been diagnosed as having (apologies if that is the incorrect terminology) Aspergers. He is finding it near impossible to find PAID employment. His diagnosis is High Intelligence Low Comms. I have seen a job with a high street retailer for which he would be perfect as it deals with his major favorite interest. Is there anybody I can contact who who could support an application in some way. He doesn't have any kind of CV so he never gets through any applications to interview stage (that stage is another massive hurdle to face if he ever gets that far) Thanks

Yes I have used "Access to Work" in the past & they were great from every angle.
Following my Stroke they helped me return to paid employment.
I have pasted the info below for you.
