Are there any organisations that can help me? was created by Anne Lee
I'm a person who was diagnosed with autism later in life. Even though I've now been diagnosed, I've spent my life being scared, as because I look normal I don't get enough points in DWP assessments, and I think I would be treated better if I was a murderer in jail.
I just get humiliated by being made to apply for unsuitable jobs, and not allowed to do anything useful that would actually help me get a suitable job for my condition. Such as Job Centre send me on useless work programmes where all I do it made to sit in front of the computer applying for jobs, but no help with volunteer work or education courses.
Does anybody on here know if there are any groups that can help me stop living my life so I'm constantly made to feel suicidal by the Job Centre?

Hi Anne
The best I can suggest is that you contact (if you haven't already) the National Autistic Society
www.autism.org.uk/get-involved/about-us/contact-us.aspx

OK I did look into them, and they just do social groups. Don't think they help with people applying for benefits.
