I’ve just had a thought after struggling to get my business off the ground, and thought if you or know someone who had just gone through severe Head Injury. Employment is a different picture to those with Head Injury.
Telling the interviewer that you have had Traumatic Brain Injury reduces you chances of employment and if you have to tell them you have Autism, Depression, Schizophrenia, Epilepsy, Dyslexia the interviewer often tells you their first aiders aren’t trained enough or some other excuse.

But I found this page from HeadWay rather useful:
