Unspecified origin
This might help.Various sources say it is, including the local Autism centre, yet the local Social services say it isn't, therefore they denied me the right to go on their employment course because according to them I don't have a learning disability.
Would these people please make their minds up? I hate this being stuck in "Limbo" applying for jobs in the NT world, when by rights I should be applying for Aspie centric positions, even though I refuse on principle to work for £2 a day in some "disabled specific" job in a Remploy Factory or wherever, I deserve better than that IMO.
Autism vs. Learning and Attention Issues: What You Need to Know
Autism while by itself is not a learning disability, it is more often than not coupled with learning disabilities. Asperger's on the other hand is manifested in social difficulties, which do not help meet the criteria, and average to high IQ. So in short, Asperger's is not a learning disability.
