About the employer:

I use a wheelchair outdoors only due to my physical health. I can walk a very short distance outdoors but can become very breathless if walking too far. I do get tired very easily, more in the afternoon due to my physical health. I can become focused on my own thoughts and if anxious or upset about something can use inappropriate language, but these are usually short outbursts at the time.
