Hi All,
I'm Dad to an 18 year old Son, who has just finished College and seems a bit lost and has increasing stress and anxiety by the day. He wants to work but is struggling to find anything even collecting glasses in a pub.
He ha has signed on for UC and they are providing some coaching but not much. I suggest things but he just ignores me ( I am his Dad after all)
Any advice gratefully received, regarding helping him into work or volunteering or other areas that could help with his anxiety and self confidence.
Many Thanks,
N
These programmes - heritage skills and traditional crafts, always sound Autistic friendly. https://www.kings-foundation.org/education
Helping to further specialised interests or even finding mentorships can further a more suitable career. Even one day workshops or community events such as cleaning a park or gardening. Too often, we leave skill with little hands on experience on navigating everyday things.
