I had a very interesting work related meeting with the Manager of an agency which offers support to people with Additional Support Needs to help them gain or keep a job.
Sadly the biggest single factor in preventing these people in succeeding in work is not their additional support need whether it be Aspergers or Dyslexia. It is in fact their confidence has been dented so much as they can perceive themselves as being different.
How sad is that?
People with so much to offer but prevented by a barrier in their mind which tells them they are not good enough. But it isn't real. The barriers don't exist. If only everyone, myself included, could remember that all the time.
Cheers
