Great work!! Almost all people, including employers, are decent people who can separate disability from ability - that has been proven many times!...

I'm very happy for your success. Your courage is a role model for so many others who lack the belief they will succeed in this competitive world....

Stuttered throughout the whole interview. Still got the offer.

Stuttered throughout the whole interview. Still got the offer. I won't write a wall of text about my life story, the job, or the company. I just wanted to share this to hopefully give some of you hope...

I like delivering for courier apps. There's a decent bit of talking to people, but it's just to get the food, and most of the time the customer wants it left at door. If you have a good car and don'...

Thanks for sharing. I came across them during my research, but I'm seeking a platform where anyone can create a profile regarding their interests, and people can look up PWS who have similar career in...

Same here! I’m actually on OT practice placement rn so you best believe the clinic I’m at will be finely educated when I’m done with them 😂...

Unrelated but how did you get such a great job in the first place. Our son is struggling with interviews. He is an amazing student, top school, super smart. Any advice, please please please!...
