Son is doing well

My youngest son is doing well with his apprenticeship and proud of him. The employee I put him with says he is a quick learner and puts the full effort into it. Plus he does ask questions once in a while. Plus he does put his tools away in the same condition he found them before using them. Told him I am glad to hear this. I am seeing him much happier knowing he has someone to talk to with Autism. I do see him succeeding on this. This employee of mine is glad he is doing great in school learning an education is 100% important in life
 
It's great you are helping him find what he is passionate about. My daughter spent hours and hours on the computer, and now she has plenty of experience, and new software doesn't stop her. If l had yelled at her about how much time she had been on the computer, she would just hate me, and wouldn't have been motivated to pursue her career, or education. I wish other parents could understand this, besides you and me. Let them find what they like to do. It's such a simple concept, but nobody thinks like that.
 
Good call. I have a truckers license as a backup plan in case of an emergency such as job loss. If someone can drive a truck, you'll never see them homeless.

Trucks and engines are fine for autistic people. I work in a steel plant and find the machinery is far more congenial and less antagonistic than the average human being.
