My Son is finding life difficult

sunset

Has said above my Son if finding life difficult. He's 21, unemployed and being encouraged to seek jobs almost the same as an indivdual would, without autism.  He hasn't got the skills to gain a job through the normal channels, but this falls on deaf ears. 

You have to fight for everything, people just see a person with no physical disablilites and assume able even though you have autism, you have no difficulties.  The unemployment say they understand, but don't really accommadate his needs.

I could go on, but I know many must have experience this.

Thank you.

  • hi my son too is unemployed and finding it difficult but he's being helped by scope and there supporting him and helping him towards work experience job interview techniques and getting around. Ask at the job centre if theres schemes available in your area or look around and try yourself for him. feel for you its a difficult transition for them as it is and even worse if not getting the support they really need x
