[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 635848, member: 1550"] Lil...it really isn't that hard to start working, even if you haven't before. My son with autism is an extremely hard worker, but he has anxiety and is very nervous around new people yet he has worked since high school, often at very strenuous jobs. He is overweight and not in good shape, but he didn't complain about it and made sure he was up in time to go. And, of course, all of us have had a first job. Some people don't want to work so they exaggerate how terrible it is. Being parents, we feel bad. Nobody wants to think our grown children are full of aches and pains. But it does not sound like your son has a difficult job that requires high level skills. He can do the job if he wants to do the job. He can also flip burgers or ring up sales in a gas station. If he doesn't like to get up early, they have night shifts at gas stations and restaurants. I hope he keeps this job. It is a step in the right direction for developing character and having his own money. Hugs and have a great day. [/QUOTE]
