  • I am wondering where these employers are that will take people to try work. 

    I am also wondering how my autistic/ ADHD son will manage when he reaches employment age in less than two years. He currently needs a lot of support to manage college and won't tend to ask for help from any adults other than his parents. He often won't admit when he needs help either. I am wondering how he will manage to apply for jobs or even sign on. I am not even sure what work he would manage to do.
