    Are you comfortable telling us what level of difficulties and/or any diagnosed conditions?

    Yes, he's autistic but more than able to follow instructions. He enjoys repetitive work and just wants to be 'doing something useful'.

    He reads/writes ok and would need close supervision until he felt confident in doing the job; perhaps a supervisor who can keep him 'on task' and focussed.

    thank you for your reply
