[QUOTE="DDD, post: 517326, member: 35"] difficult child#2 is now 21 has Aspergers, ADHD, Schizo Affective and possible BiPolar (BP). He is good looking, well groomed but doesn't have a social clue. His Mom no longer buys medications for him because "he doesn't need them". Yesterday he comes over and tells me "I'm waiting to hear back from McDonalds about my job." I respond that's good news and ask him if it went well. He assures me it did. These are the statements he made to me. "I've been interviewed twice and everyone says if you get past the first interview you will be hired. I wish they'd hurry up and call me." I respond asking if they said they would call him on a specific date. "Well, I was suppose to go back last week but I was busy with something else. So I'm just going to go to the restaurant Monday and tell them I have time to talk." I casually suggest that he use the appointment. book I gave him to write down appts. He says "good idea, Mama, I'll do that". Hmmm. Then he says "Mama I have a real concern about how they manage the McDonalds. The employees spend too much time talking and flirting with one another. The customers are suppose to be the main focus." (I make no comment.) He goes on "But the big concern is that three people there asked me for my SS#. Two of them just wrote it down on napkins. I told the last Manager 'I'm not comfortable sharing my SS# with so many people. Identity Theft is a major problem in our world and I don't want my identity stolen.' " The Managers are in their twenties. The kid does not have a prayer of getting hired. He has no clue and prepping him for interviewing doesn't do much good because he "wings it".
