[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 230000, member: 3907"] I really like the idea of supported employment. It just makes sense. I also think that putting some sort of job matching in place for people would help them to find (or carve out) a corner of the employment market that suits their needs. There are a lot of jobs that are well suited for people with...erm...non-traditional thinking patterns, emotional needs, etc. and some of them are just not that well known outside of the limited group of people working in those fields. I wonder if there's a way for the supported employment people to partner with career counsellors or something, to help people become more aware of the options out there. My line of work seems to be so well suited to Aspies, people with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), etc. But when I talk to people, most have never heard of what I do and don't even realize that it's a job. We need to get the right information to people. (Sorry. I'm running on no sleep today, so it's hard to shut me off once I get rolling. I'll stop rambling now...) Trinity [/QUOTE]
