What jobs are suitable for a disabled/neurodiverse middle aged bloke?
Topic.
I have a meeting booked with Autism Plus in Town on Friday morning at 11, with a view to them trying to help me get a paid job, I just don't think I'll ever work because in all the years I've been trying, I keep getting rejected because I can only work short hours due to the rules while on benefits, which for various reasons I can't come off.
And as mentioned before, in my chosen retail trade, evenings and weekend shifts are pretty much mandatory, and for various reasons I just can't.
Would there be a way round this? I know there's reasonable adjustments and all that bobbins but I've been saying for years that what's "reasonable" is open to interpretation at the employer's discretion, which almost never benefits the employee/potential employee.

Are you able to choose another retail trade? Or train up to do some online work?

I've been using the Internet in general for nearly 30 years, and have applied for online remote sales work but again most of the work is evenings or weekends as that's when the customers are available.
