"I’ve noticed that my confidence has grown and I have understood the different concepts of communication. Difference for me means being unique in your own way. When I was looking for work they felt I couldn’t do it when I know that I can – I just need a little help. I want to send a message out there: Yes we have got disabilities and learning difficulties but we are able to work!"-
