[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 469894, member: 11791"] I agree. In fact, even just getting the diagnosis helps - because employers are not supposed to discriminate based on disabilities. I CAN tell you why he does well at RS... the typical customer coming in there is going to be at least a semi-tech-head. These people want ANSWERS. Not gobble-de-gook or go-figure-it-out or I-don't-know. With his computer training and techie bent... he KNOWS an awful pile of stuff, and can figure a raft of other things out fast. (could I use X to accomplish Y? well... how about T plus M - its cheaper or its in stock .... or whatever). RS doesn't pay well enough to get "real" tech-heads, usually. Tech world pays well enough. But Billie's disability holds him back. [/QUOTE]
