Yeah but it's hard enough now as a 40 odd year old disabled Aspie in the UK to get a job, who'd take on a 50 odd year old disabled Aspie in the UK?
Equal opportunities? Meh, they say that because they have to, they don't mean it.
I'm a 48 year old physically disabled Aspie and I've been in full time work all my adult life. You'll stand a much better chance of getting work if you have ID whatever your age, if indeed that's what you actually want.
