Most people only get jobs for the money. I would only get a job for the money.

Whats FIFO in Australia?

Fly-In, Fly-Out

Basically a job at a site so remote the only way to access it is by flying in and out.

Oh okay. Thanks funeralxempire.

There are remote jobs at hydroelectric plants in Canada. Brisay is at 54 degrees North Latitude!
Google says I can drive there. 31 hours and 1467 miles! It is pretty much due North of Hartford, Connecticut.

It is faster to drive the 1671 miles to Plano, Texas at 25 hours.

Oh okay. I am not legally allowed to work in Canada.

Brisay is 658 km from the nearest town, you might be able to drive there but only if you've brought adequate supplies and have a suitable vehicle.



That's what the road looks like. Also: No services, accommodations or fuel.

Your mistaken. Employers are legally required to pay minimum-wage regardless of if the employees are disabled or not. That said there are loopholes if the disabled person is a token disabled employee who's not really capable of performing the job at all like how years ago I've seen WalMart greeters in wheelchairs sleeping while another person was next to them checking the receipts.

Unfortunately, in cities with higher costs of living, people don't have the luxury of doing things they enjoy. If you want to live in those cities, you have no choice but to do something that pays a certain amount of money, even if it's something you hate.

Accounting is a good entry level career if you like numbers and data! I was able to get my first Accounting related job with just a HS Diploma and some math and customer service skills. If you found a job like "Accounting Assistant" or something where it's initially just data-entry that might help get your foot in the door. It definitely helps though if you have a college degree. I have been noticing a lot of jobs listed on Indeed for Accounting as well. At least in my area but I'm sure there are hopefully alot of Accounting jobs down your way as well! I think it's still a growing profession globally. Even with the advent of AI I think they will still need people in my humble opinion.

I would encourage you to look up Section 14 C of the Fair Labor Act of 1938 Nick007. Disabled people like us are not granted the same min wage protections in all circumstances. We can be paid less than min wage if the company gets a special certificate. I dont know if thats a loophole you were talking about but many disabled workers have been paid way less than min wage.

Do the kids usually stay in the small rural towns or do they move to the larger cities?

Hi, I'm 52 and have an MBA that I can't use for health reasons, but I did work for years in different sectors.

We don't climb stairs by starting at the middle step. We start from the first step - or the floor - and work our way up. Experience is not the same as your degree. Employers need to see that you're dependable, honest, conscientious, you take responsibility for your words, actions, and your work, you can work unsupervised, and that you can follow the rules. And if you require supervision with your work, that it's due to documented challenges that a support person can assist you with.

Get that kind of experience "under your belt" and employers will recommend you, and you'll develop a work history that shows you are competent, dependable, and eager to do more.

A McJob is a great place to start. It's honest, hard work, and learning how to interact with the public will give you life skills and experience to get you where you want to be.

I agree that support would be very useful. Contact your university and see what they can offer you. Or, look up GRASP and see if they can provide support. Or contact your city or state government (if in US) and ask them if they have job coaching available for young adults with autism. As for your current support worker - is it possible that you aged out or they might not have received your message? If it's been a few days to a week since you contacted them, consider reaching out to them again. I've learned that people aren't always avoiding or ignoring us - sometimes things happen, or technology glitched, or they lost track of time. Ask again with good faith and see what happens.

Sort of, there is a program of sorts for people who are too disabled to be employable. The whole point of it is to allow them to earn some money working. The amount is super low just because some people, even with a significant amount of support are still not able to do enough work for a company to be able to afford to compensate them.

Personally, I'm not super thrilled about the whole thing, but I'm not really sure what the alternative really is. These are people who flat out wouldn't be able to work at a typical job, even with every accommodation that comes under the header of reasonable accommodation.

Oh okay.,...I knew there was some loophole for a special program....Do people with Down's syndrome who work at Grocery Stores normally get paid less than min wage? Also I never hear of anyone actually making min wage these days. Even McDonald's pay 12 to 20 dollars per hour in some places.

Fly in, fly out. Mining jobs are usually 3-6 months long and then you fly back home for a month and then it all starts again.
