Job resources!

My disability counselor at school showed me this, and I think it's wonderful, personally!

I don't understand what the purpose of these links is. What do they have to do with NLD?

[midoriliem]

They're for disability accommodations at work. So you'd have to search for LD or cognitive disability accommodations, but I've found the suggestions to be really helpful.

[rainbow_goddess]

Actually, no. They are of absolutely no use to me. Searching for LD or cognitive anything would be complete and total waste of time for me. These are ADA resources. ADA stands for the "Americans with Disabilities" Act. Americans. Got that part? A-m-e-r-i-c-a-n-s. As in, not Canadians. As in, not where I live. As in, absolutely, totally and completely of no use to me whatsoever.

Whoa! Personally, I think there's no reason to be hostile. I didn't check where every person in this community lives. A lot of these suggestions don't require formal accommodations- some are arrangements you can set up with your boss or do yourself.

I'm not trying to be hostile. I just find it very annoying that everyone I meet on LJ, Twitter, Facebook, and all the other social media sites I visit assume that everyone is an American. Even if there are "arrangements you can set up with your boss or do yourself" not everyone in every country has the same rights to disability accommodations that the ADA covers.

If I were posting links to sites that cover what Canadians can expect in terms of disability accommodation, then I would mention that in the post: "Here are some links for workplace accommodations in Canada." I would not just post a bunch of links and say, "Here are some useful links" and then let people who don't live in America waste their time sorting through them.
