    Thanks

    Thanks for the compliment. My audio plays when I click on it. Any suggestions to get it to work for others since it is such a great song.

    PRESSED TO RESIGN OR BE FIRED

    Dear Brian,

    I am a brand new user to this site, so please bare with me as Ifind my way around. I need some solid advice.

    It may be to long ago, but aboutthree years ago, I was working for a company, and at the same time had been diagnosed with FASD, which was both saddening, but a relief to knowthe nature of some challenges I hadstruggled with since my childhood.

    I had been struggling withsome tasks involving putting data and projections $$ into a program report. Athough I struggled, I continued to seek assistance from my peers, as well as express my needs to my employer. (Thisprocess was embarrasing, and humiliating) First thing you know they brought in a corporate HR person (my guess was to cover their end). I have them a list of accomodations that would help that would cost the company less than a meal at Denny's. Shortly after that I was called into the Directors office and given the option to quit, before I got fired. I had never been so humiliated in my life. Since then, although I have stayed working due to plain need, my income has suffered greatly, and my reference from the previous company willmost likely be unfavorable due to the situation.

    If I have a case, I think it's worth fighting for simply for those that can't fight. I just don't know who could help,..if It's even worthdoing, nor the resources to take them on legally.

    I would greatly appreciate your advice.

    Thanks

    Patrick
