[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's extremely hard to find a job right now, and it's about to get even harder, because all the feds that were looking in a desultory way after RIFs will now be desperate - paychecks are ending this week. Also there's the shutdown and threatened mass layoffs.

So you need to take a good hard look at this man. Does he had ADHD/autism, and is that why he's disorganized, distracted and can't stay focused on task? Can he look for jobs anywhere in the US, and move for that job, just so he has something?

Your kid. What exactly does he need? My (now adult) son was born with special needs and for many years we could not afford to outsource much. He received free therapies from the county as a toddler, then had free speech therapy in public school, with an IEP and accommodations for his ADHD and autism. We spent a little on private speech as well. I retaught everything at home, and I was his therapist, narrator and general mediator. We eventually medicated him for his severe ADHD, which helped. When he was older and we had more money, we hired tutors for his AP exams, ACT, etc. I was his executive function coach all his life, day in, day out, because he needed help mostly outside of business hours, and they were too expensive anyway. Which is to say... there is a lot you can do yourself! My son is now a functional-enough college student.[/quote]

Its not hard to find a job. Its probably hard to find a job that pays similarly to the what he was making before. If he has time to do all of non job seeking things, he has time to take on an lower paying/hourly role.  [/quote]
