Nice People Thread No. 15, a Cyber Summer

Hope all the NPs are well and happy with things. I've lots to read and catch up on.

I'm less than 24 hours out from the marathon. It's at this point I start reading about all the things I should have done !

It seems it was all about something called "the plan". I've never had a workable plan in my life, and I'm not about to start now!

My youngest has just heard she got the job she has had two interviews for and had set her heart on! :j:j:j

Milestone for my youngest too, he actually managed to speak to the person in a local cafe about the notice in the window regarding a part time job. Doesn't sound like much but he doesn't 'do' people especially if he has to talk about himself.

Took him about 10 hours of being in a quandry and stressing about it and when it came to it, his words wouldn't work and he was stood there like an idiot (his words) pointing at the sign until something came out.

Although it may be something that's good for confidence building and being able to gain the ability to communicate better in the future, which if the management there are supportive enough will be a massive step in the right direction.

Congratulations from me

Good stuff. Hopefully this is a step forwards for him.

Well done to him for summoning up the courage to go and ask. After all the worrying beforehand and the stress he did well to say anything under the circumstances. :T Fingers crossed something comes of it.

Thanks everyone, it was a huge huge step for him. He has got to take his CV in (all that stress for them to just tell him to drop his CV off but hey ho), so now to get it printed off.

It's also handy for transport, the train station is at the end of our road, the job is at the train station 2 stops up, so it might (he struggles with travelling on his own) work. It might not however but at least he is trying to overcome the more trying parts of his autism.

You can only win the fight if you get into the fight.

Am I still able to post?

Something weird happening elsewhere and I look PPRd.

Looks ok... strange...

I've tried to remove my thanks on a post that I would not normally thank.. I think I may have hit thanks button in error on a tiny screen and not noticed. Post does not reflect my views, but when I try to remove thanks it says that my priviledges revoked.

Update... well I'm still here and the thanks have been removed. Maybe there was a glitch. For a moment I got a glimpse into Neverland...
