[QUOTE="slsh, post: 265217, member: 8"] Hi Auntie! I'm chuckling here because I'd give a couple of extremities if my difficult child would *want* to get a job, LOL. He's doing everything he can to not work, so the fact that your kids are anxious to become employed is really great news in my book. :) It's been a while since I've filled out an application but I'm thinking they would only need to specify a disability if it would impact their ability to do the job. Personally, I think less is more - if daughter wants to fill out an app at the pool, I'd encourage her and allow her to make the choice on whether to let them know she has bipolar. I'd probably steer her away from that disclosure, especially if it won't impact her performance, but that's just me. Ditto DS (can 15 year-old's work? I always thought you had to be 16??). This is a great learning experience for them. Just the process of filling out an app, interviewing, etc. Hopefully they will get jobs and that's just fabulous experience, in my humble opinion. Let them go thru the process, support and encourage them. The goal is independence and self-sufficiency and I think they're to be commended for wanting to start heading down that road. But - I could be completely off base. ;) Again, this is just my opinion and it's highly influenced by the fact that my son is terminally unemployed. I'm sure others who have gone thru this will have some tips for you. Kudos to your kids!!! [/QUOTE]
