[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymou[b]s]I don't understand why ok thinks you have to be smart or have a high processing speed to hold a full time job. I don't understand why she isn't hearing everyone telling her that.[/b] I am guessing she is mourning some highhigh achieving version of her daughter but can't say so since it is a little bit socially taboo to want that so instead she's convinced herself her daughter won't be able to hold a job.[/quote]

OP here.  I have been trying hard not to get angry with the posters like you, but I'm getting quite frustrated. What can I say?  I'm her mother, I know what she's like and from what I see of her she seems like she will be very impacted on the job.  And no, I'm not just talking about high achieving jobs.  I think the job she would have the absolute hardest time with is a being a waiter.  Yes, I get that there are people who aren't particularly smart or have high processing speeds who do fine. But my daughter is very negatively impacted by her slow processing speed.  On most days, I try to tell myself the things that many others have said, oh she'll mature and it will get better, things will work out.  But on other days, like today, when I'm being truly honest with myself, I can't help but admit to myself that I have a very hard time imagining her holding onto anything but the most rudimentary job.
