Hi …my son is 21 and wants to stay on at college but in September we will have to pay for his course ….we were late to the party and only have just applied for universal credit for him but they will only pay it until August…..unless he leaves college and he can still get it but must find a job…..I don’t think my son is able to find work …he has Aspergers and is the least confident person I know with strangers !!!!!!!!
Make sure that your son tells the Job Centre knows that he is autistic, and asks them for support. Don't assume that he will not find work. Autism can be a strength in some jobs ... look for employers that are neurodiversity friendly.
