Well here we are it is January 2015!!! After so many successful achievements for our ASD son. What will he be working towards this year? He will need to arrange driving lesson with a driving school, so he can learn the current road rules, and have enough confidence to move forward to his red P plates. The task will be picking the right driving school and getting the right driving instructor, someone that will have a lot of patience and understanding. I'm sure he will get the right driving school to help!!!
The next step is to explore different types of work!!! He has been looking into different types of jobs last, but he only found it so confusing and is unable to choose anything that he maybe interested in!! I guess this is going to be a real challenge, the job list is quite a large list, the larger the list the harder it is to make a choice!!! So the challenge is to make the list smaller and hopefully this will be manageable for him to make some sort of a choice.
Also while all this is going on learning to drive and looking at job choices, we still have to continue with social skills building and making sure he mingles with the public an a daily basis, so he doesn't lose those social skills that he learn't last year.
I'm so proud of him now, on how he can walk into a shop and buy something by himself, without any help from me. I can sit in the back ground and watch!!! I am particularly proud how he wants to go out and socialise with others and how interacts at parties, no more sitting in the corner and trying to hide, he will intermingle with people and have conversation with them and he will joke and laugh with everyone!!!
