Finding and keeping jobs - help available
Today I had the honor and pleasure to receive the group of ACI in my home, and present AWA to them.
ACI: Autistic Community of Israel - see details at: http://awaisrael.blogspot.com/2009/09/important-contact-details-to-keep.html#more)
It was a wonderful opportunity to feel once again the relaxion that comes with spending time with people "on your same wavelength" - which is so rare for us Aspies. No social pressures, no "what's the matter with you, you're different" stares, no questioning of our values and opinions and preferences. An atmosphere of shared priorities, and wherever not, tolerance for diversity.
We held a very fruitful discussion on the crucial topic of earning a living in Israel, here and now, as spectrum people.
2. Ms. Ester Tzabar
Private enterprise head hunter specializing in finding jobs for Aspies with skills and background appropriate for work in QA (Quality Assurance, בדיקת תוכנה). At some future stage, Ester intends to widen the scope of her work to include Aspies with diverse computer skills such as those suitable for translation, editing, and others. Most jobs accessed through Ester require a course, given by Ester's team itself, which lasts about 6 months and the cost is about 5,000 NIS. Recruitment after the course is not guaranteed.
3. Legal Clinic at Bar Ilan University
Good resource to contact for advice on employment laws and guidance on the process needed to get special accomodations for an Aspie approved at the workplace, if at all possible. Help with Social Security (ביטוח לאומי) claims, including representation by lawyer!
4. In set-up process: Abilities - Manager: Ms. Pnina Vetcher
Private manpower contractor, will be hiring people with disabilities or Asperger's, to do hitech companies' outsourcing work, mostly in software testing and Quality Assurance. No website yet, contact through Linked-In only at this initial stage.

We held a very fruitful discussion on the crucial topic of earning a living in Israel, here and now, as spectrum people.Which reminded me I ought to list the currently available sources of help on the topic of finding work and counseling about work, so here they are:
BE is a private enterprise with branches in several places in Israel, offering training, workshops and guidance towards employment, as well as matchmaking with regular companies in the free market (usually for practice periods only). Most suitable for Aspies with little or no prior work experience. Attention: No assurance of a protected work environment (עבודה מוגנת) or AS-friendly employer at this stage.2. Ms. Ester Tzabar

?ישראל AWA אז...למה זה טוב
ובכן, קודם קצת היסטוריה עלי. הייתי בת 40 פלוס כשגיליתי שכל הדברים האלה שנראו לי כל כך שונים, לעיתים מביכים, ולא מובנים אצלי נופלים כולם תחת הגדרה של "איפיוני אספרגר". מאז, מספר שנים, אני נמצאת בדרך חדשה בחיי – דרך אל עצמי, לחיים שמתאימים לי. דרך לא קלה, כי היא לא ממש סלולה עדיין, ועוד פחות עבור נשים עם אספרגר. אז עכשיו שסוף-סוף יודעים, מה עושים
מי שנאלצת כמוני קצת להמציא את הגלגל, ובנוסף היא טיפוס אספרגר – ז/א יסודית עד אובססיה בחקירה ואיסוף מידע וקיטלוג, יכולה לקצר את הדרך לאחרים. למה לא לחלוק ושאחרים לא יצטרכו כולם לסלול מחדש את כל הדרך. כך נולדה, קודם כל, רשימת ארגונים ואנשי מקצוע מומלצים (בצד ימין של דף זה) והיא תמשיך לגדול. וכך גם הקישורים המאירים מהרשת וההמלצות לקריאה
הדרך שלי עוד רחוקה מהמטרה. ובכל צעד אשתף אתכם בחוויות, במה נתקלתי, איך הצלחתי לפתור, מה למדתי, איזה מידע ליקדתי, במה התקדמתי, מה השגתי. אני ממליצה להירשם לבלוג ע"מ לקבל התראה כל פעם שמתפרסם הפרק הבא במסע. הפרק הראשון יתפרסם ממש בקרוב
בנוסף, תמצאו כאן קישורים למה שקורה בעולם בנושא אספרגר, הירהורים שלי על חיים עם אספרגר, הערות קוראים, ופינה חמה בה לשאול שאלות ולהעלות נושאים לדיון. וגם כן, מה לעשות, קצת שגיאות כתיב, כי לא נולדתי מקומית
