Going back to work?

Lately I've been thinking about returning to work, but I feel overwhelmed not knowing which jobs would be less stress and doable. I can't have a one on one conversation, especially in a noisy place. It's utterly impossible. Are you in my shoes, do you work? What do you do for a living?

Are there no disability rights officers that help with job search over there? Good luck with your search

Oh yes of course, just free resources on finding acco.odating work here is limited, or not supported by my government.

It's strange, you find hundreds of programs for the blind, ranging from anything you can possibly imagine. But very few programs for the deaf, if any. We have many resources for learning sign, but that's about it.
