Thank you all. This guy has overcome so much in his lifetime I often say I should write a book about him. He has his moments but overall he has been a joy to raise.
Thouse of you who know a high functioning Aspie will understand how much diffucultiy they have in the job market. My easy child has a college degree in economics and graduated
laude but was unable to secure a job in his field and has had much difficulty maintaing employment because of his memory problems and quirky behaviors. He applied at a local snack food company that services food and convience stores. They are very reptable and employment there is sought after in our community. easy child 2 has been training for a sales/service route of his own. Once he gets that he will be pretty much set for an independant life. The company promotes only from within and pretty much everyone in management does route sales to start. Of course not everyone moves up to management but they pay the sales force well and it isn't a commision job it is salary and benefits. you can live on it and raise a family on it. -RM
