This has been so difficult that at one point his mum, Carole, reduced her working hours to part-time to support him to find a job. Despite seeing a Disability Employment Adviser, Chris still could not get the help he needed so he decided to apply for Employment and Support Allowance. However, because he was not asked about his disability when he applied, both Chris and Carole feel that he did not get support tailored to his Asperger syndrome.
