When my son got his first job

Posted byElaine SycksPosted inUncategorizedTags:,

My youngest son is autistic, and is considered to be on the high functioning spectrum of autism. For those that have raised or are raising autistic children into adulthood, every milestone achieved is momentous. I will always remember when he came down the stairs smiling, holding out a printed email saying “Congratulations, welcome to the Target Team.” And how valued that made him feel.

  1. My daughter is autistic as well. Unfortunately, because she was so good at masking and high functioning that only recently did we really know it. But finding a job was a struggle for her because of her other challenges. I was so happy when she found something that worked for her.

    1. What a beautiful story. Thank you for sharing with me! I am glad that she found something where she belongs. I am sure it is the same for you; I love when my son leaves the house each day with purpose.
