Thomas worked in IT for many years, until his role was made redundant. When he started his career, he was given support from a service specifically designed to help people with autism and Asperger syndrome into work. This service was appropriate to his needs and helped him to find a long-term job which he enjoyed. However, since being made redundant he has struggled to find a similar service which caters specifically for his Asperger syndrome and has been unable to find another job. He has recently given up on getting the support he needs and has decided to retrain. Watch his story or read the transcript of the film.
