[quote=Anonymous]She sounds like she's very mildly autistic, OP, like my daughter. Criteria have significantly changed in recent years, and now encompass a category of "normal" presenting people, who actually do have social and communication challenges and social anxiety, but that are not readily visible to strangers. My kid was diagnosed at 15.

I forced DD to apply to internships and volunteering opportunities in the spring, and one of those offers came through. If I hadn't found the applications online or heard of them thanks to friends, and walked her through the application process, she wouldn't have even thought of such things.

There is still time to volunteer or advertise on your local listserv for baby sitting or pet walking or pet sitting services. My neighborhood listserve sometimes posts jobs that are suitable for older teens and college kids, but you need to react fast. Otherwise check Indeed, or other job websites, and search for high school or teen summer jobs.
