More wfp window cleaners have Tourettes than we realise. We regularly experience it with hoses around wheelie bins, rocks, paving stones, etc.

Think you just diagnosed my wife!

You don't have to say on a public forum, but think how much you are paying them too. I found in my past experience earning £60/£70 a day but doing £300/£400 of work very demoralising!

this is the problem I had with my last guy paid him gd rate as soon as he seen what was coming in for me he honestly could,int handle it

did explain the running of the business. was also paying half his driving lesson,and christmas bonus hoyed in for gd measure.My plan was to put another van on the road ,thought this guy was the perfect man for the job.Massive fall out the party is now over

I guess the problem is in this game the money coming in is right in front of them, with most jobs you don't really see it.

 

[Duncs]

There is a gardening company that hires autistic / asperges ect.

Love to see what the liability policy will look like in our trade reknowned for ladder work.

 

[Diwrnach]

Aspergers and autistic have no real physical disability, can't see why it would be any different really?

 

[Green Pro Clean Ltd]

I think the difference from an underwriting perspective would be frame of mind. Are they as aware of the dangers as we are and so forth. Would be good to hear from the brookers. @Simply Business @Martin Holden

A friends son as autistic but goes to normal school etc, so not really bad, but he just has social problems, nothing more, aspergers is the same its just social skills, aspergers is where they can't judge peoples moods, don't understand sarcasm and things like that, its just social skills.

Would still be interesting to hear what a insurance company says, but they can drive a car same as you or me so I see no reason why they can't climb a ladder.

Though its not really an issue as we are WFP lol

 

[Diwrnach]

The only issue I see is potentially customer reactions, but if you sent out a group email and/or text to everyone explaining I doubt anyone would care, and if they did they can bog off anyway lol

Just found a post on a aspergers forum saying her son got a job as a window cleaner, so wouldn't be the first.

Our neighbour has asbergers, autism or similar, but I must admit it is funny. He's a harmless old boy. My Mrs makes him cakes, the odd hot meal, etc. So I was chatting to another neighbour at the time, when this old boy walks up and says

"Andy!"

"Oh hello Micheal" I said.

"Yeah, those cakes your Mrs left....

...."they were burnt".

Me and the other neighbour just burst out laughing. He didn't even get why. I even suggested he went and told my wife.

 

[Diwrnach]

Yeah they are very honest, they don't understand things like that, they don't get sarcasm or how peoples feelings work etc

 

[Diwrnach]

Though there are big differences in how bad they are, I know some autistic people can't even speak.

 

[TolishAPurd]

Exactly. As the person on the receiving end you just have to be tolerant, and see it with a sense of humour.

 

[Diwrnach]

See I am almost autistic, but its not that I don't get other peoples feelings etc I just don't care /emoticons/tongue.png

Try catching your scrim on a rose bush. ( that's a cloth we used in the olden days to clean windows with)
