    Whilst I won't be abe to find out if the work place will be suitable for me before the application deadline. I have gone to every length to try and find out and so if I have turn around and say it is not suitble, then they can not blame me as I have tried my best to find out.

    Okay, I watched it and yes people far worse than me can have jobs,


    It showed me too that I can fight and get this flipping job even if there has been misunderstanding and no one thinks I will get it. I am going to fight for it and make them give me it.

    I think that is where I went wrong in this misunderstanding. I was going too much for I am a goody, goody and wanting to tell them everything at once and wanted to do too much to fight for it.


    But I am not going to let it slip through my fingers and really fight for it.

    :T :T :T my 13 year old daughter with Tourettes is already planning what sort of jobs she may get - and in addition to this ...all on her own has even researched and booked herself onto a first aid course so that she will be properly equipped to babysit next year. Life helps you if you help yourself Phil.
    I have had brain surgery - sorry if I am a little confused sometimes ;)

    I took your advice, when the boss person contacted me about this. I said that thank you for getting in touch and the HR had resolved all my problems and that I was happy at the moment that there was no problems and I will wait until a job offer before discussing access and adjustment issues.
