[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My nephew is on the spectrum and he is 22.  He still attends a special high school program that is work study.  He is now training as an industrial window washer.  He LOVES it.  When he has completed his training he will get a union card and will have a job.  The only difficulty my sister has found with this is that he doesn't like to take days off and wishes he could go to work every day because he BELONGS at work.

They live in Michigan but there should be a great program somewhere in Maryland for you.  Good luck!  He is the happiest guy.[/quote]

Np, but omg, that sounds amazing!:). It just sounds like such a perfect situation, it makes me choked up just thinking about it.[/quote]

Yes. a coworker of my DH's mentioned that his DS who has Asbergers attends Churchill and is in a phenomenal apprenticeship program where he is learning a trade from a bunch of old timers....men in their late 60s-70s who have been in that particular trade for a long time. [/quote]
