Help for 17 year old son finding a weekend job

NAS81729

My son is having difficulty getting interviews for just a small part time job whilst he is in sixth form. We even think he is being discriminated against as he has autism. Any tips and advice would Pray great - he wants to be open and honest about his autism but is starting to doubt whether he should mention it and his confidence is at an all time low. Can anyone offer advice? Thank you Pray

    of course he is, same as we all

    I haven't found anybody with a solution,

    unless you are master of disguise, it usually autistic women without alexithymia  domain.

    Myself I've been on probably close to 1000 interviews during my 20years of adulthood, for various jobs, foor many I was overqualified but without experience, and zero luck

    I'm alexithymic so If there is interview I can only get a job if someone working in that place vouch for me (colleague referral or something similar), it happened twice.

    so, I'd recommend looking for someone who could vouch for him,or get him a job where you're working
