Today my son told me is is worried when I am old or not around who would look after him.
What a relief !!!
We now can, together, work out our future and his future and set some concrete plans down.
This is liberating as it a silent worry I have carried, like many other fellow carer's, that I never dared to share with him prior to this.....😍

'I am not disabled, I am just unable to do some things' (James 25 autistic)

Mum 'I think I am ready for work'
'Great James', now this is a great idea but also a big move with lot's to learn'.
Follow my son's journey in his venture to gain employment. James is a 25 year old verbal autistic. James is gifted with a remarkable memory spanning way back to infancy. James also has a mild intellectual disability, however, very impressive with an eye for detail and needing things to be in order and having a set routine would make him a dedicated worker.
Just like all progress in his life, it takes time, patience and a great support team to achieve goals. James has a great team.
I am proud of him, even though I have spent the whole weekend telling him to 'slow down' you cannot just walk into a workplace and ask to have a job. There is a lot to learn. He will slowly understand the whole process.
Have fun following his journey, it will be light hearted and even some videos he has lined up.
😍👌👍💁‍♂️

When your adult autistic son approaches you to say he wants to get a job. Brilliant, but it is small steps and learning the little things(which are big things really)
I thought I would break this down into small steps, it gives him more clarity.
