[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 548078, member: 1550"] Oh, Fran, how cool for your son, and I agree with you to a point. My son doesn't mind repetitious work. He isn't sure what he wants to do but the DWD will work with him to find him a job that is a good fit, not just stocking boxes, if he can do more. At this point, we aren't sure yet. He isn't a good multi-tasker. He's always been pretty good on the computer so perhaps he can do something with that. We just don't know yet. This is all so new to us. Sonic graduated in June, and we had to wait two months to get an appointment at Workforce Development. Sonic wants to move out too so we are working on housing, which will take a long time. At the same time, he doesn't have the desire or interest in marriage or children. Maybe he's not high functioning enough or maybe it's just his personality. When his neuropsychologist asked him if he wanted to get married this summer, he shot back, "Why would ANYONE want to do THAT?" lol. He does have a group of friends that he works with and plays sports with (Special Olympics) and seems very content. He is a work in progress. I have read that kids on the spectrum don't reach full maturity until thirty. I don't know if that is true or not. [/QUOTE]
