Why do you think having a job is so important for someone with autism?
December 19, 2018What my favorite things are about Christmas and what I find challenging about it.
December 19, 2018I have learned a lot of stuff while working here in the past seven weeks. I have learned how to use a cash register and interacted with the customers. I have learned how to tag and price items in the store. I helped organize and hang stuff on the racks. And I learned how to answer the phone today. On the first week, I learned what the stores mission was and learned where everything went in the store. I also practiced introducing myself to the other employees here. I am also learning how to write blogs. I have been writing blogs every week and I enjoy doing it. Sometimes it’s hard coming up with things to say, but with a little help and practice, I’m getting better. I have discovered a lot about myself while working here as well. I discovered that I have a lot of skills to offer and that I am smarter than I thought I was. Working at the Autism Awareness Shop has really gave me an opportunity to put myself out there.
