My brother has all of these plus ADHD. School was a slog but he did graduate from a non-flagship state school (think JMU but not VA) after six years. He currently works in law enforcement and honestly makes pretty decent money.

someone feels worried about the kids future and you suggest janitor?
You have a problem with your child being a janitor then that’s on you. I’d be proud of my child no matter what job they get. I’m not an arrogant snob like you are.

There are trades that don't require fine motor skills.
