 CS>  I've had during my university experience, which is

Put another way, you could claim to have worked in large
organizations, and found that you don't or do mind such working
conditions (give the interviewer the reply they are seeking).

 CS>  to go to work with me and help out in this and a few other 
 CS>  regards (like emptying the leg bag, etc.) 

Most interviwers might not be aware of this, so don't mention
it.  Like single parents, this personal problem hopefully will
not interfere with your work output.

 CS>  on-campus housing is limited and I can't live there with 
 CS>  attendants as the rooms have to be shared. 

Some students are very well-suited & needing "attendant-type"
work.

 CS>  My biggest fear with attendants is having one that one night
 CS>  will rape me and that he'll have AIDS.  I know it sounds paranoic 
 CS>  but if I'm going to get AIDS I want to at least enjoy the
 CS>  moment.  That's why I want all my attendants to be women.

My fifteen years in the "Caring Industries" shows me that true,
most of the men seem to be mainly homosexual - but any fear about
aggression from these men is not true.

We have seen the occasional scare story about aggressive gay men.
But generally, the men who choose the Caring Industries are much
more sensitive than other men.

In fact, in my experience, we disabled people have much more to
fear from women than the men in the Caring Industries.   So many
women are so obviously better suited to a "trade" or to
administrative jobs, but the sexism of this society has forced
them, very unwillingly, into the Caring Industries.

 CS>  My
 CS>  other fear is that they'll take everything I got and leave me in
 CS>  bed, only to be found a week later dead of dehydration, frozen or 
 CS>  something like that! 

A very common fear - but nothing to do with real men or real
women.  Unless you have had such a very limited experience with
men, and what little you have seen has been very disappointing.
