    Mate of mine was legally registered as partially sighted (teenage cataracts) 20 years ago, he got a job with the council because he filled their disability quota. After his operation he joined one of the big 5 and became one of their top programmers.

    We had a chap who was partially sighted and a copy of Dolphin and he was fine.

    I would employ disabled people.
    But you and I are biased one way due to our experiences.

    Unfortunately not everyone especially HR people knows someone with a disability they regard as "normal".

      I was really upset they closed Remploy which seemed a really good way of giving people independence.
      Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

        So sad. I posted earlier, >90% of people diagnosed with Asperger's are unemployed. Yet many of them really are gifted in their own way and fitted into the right role in the right environment make a fantastic employee.

          There is no right environment for them. Its a "normal" world.

            Several conspiracy theories are emerging because of the memo to attack what ever are the tendencies.

            The author was not fired because of the diversity. He was fired because he was using gender stereotypes to define career path to women. Sex discrimination it's against the Law <- Fact.

            Note that we describe that the women have more talent for people, and man for things. Leading roles have all to do with people and communication, not with things <- Fact and a shoot in his foot.

            Quotas are not to hired incompetent women or race, it's when you have 2 CVs with same the skills avoid to reject the one based on stereotypes.

            This is quite simple, only sexist and racist are doing a big deal with this, probably moved by ignorance.

                  Yeah, it's difficult for some, that's the point.

                    It's been an interesting exercise in proving that intelligence and ignorance can be diametrically opposed when ideology is involved.

                    I hope some of the wisdom shared here helps someone.

                      Agreed. There are even UK laws which discriminate against men and/or favour women though so it goes further and is actually state sanctioned discrimination against men.
