[quote=Anonymous]OP your son sounds like he has some great strengths - if you tell him what to do he does it with no complaint! That is actually huge in the workforce. I would try to find something that has more of a "professional" path that is clear. It really helps folks not super internally motivated when the path is kind of laid out. For example, someone mentioned occupational therapy but that requires a grad degree. Having a college degree is a great foundation to have, sociology or marketing are two that I would consider. I would take a look at the courses required for those majors and see what interests him. But for the "professional" piece I would also think about things like surgical tech. Any chance he would be interested in that? It doesn't require as much schooling, if he can handle blood I think your role is very clear and you still have a professional cohort, etc. without needing a grad degree. Radiology tech, respiratory therapist. Those are things that came to mind for me.[/quote]
