  • I'm 26 and was diagnosed with US Type II as a teen. I've never had a job but would really, really like to find something I'm capable of doing but I'm uncertain of my abilities, as I've never put them to the test.

    If you have US and have a job can you tell me a little bit about the work you do? Or if you had to give up a job because of US can you tell me what you did and why it became neccessary to give it up?

  • Have you contacted Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) Counselor? They would be able to assess your skills and provide any training you need.

    But people with Usher do alot of different jobs: Education, counseling, IT, CPA, Computer Science, Lawyers, etc. Don't try to limit yourself.

    Have you gone to college?
