AUDHD daughter at 25 still unsure about work and direction

[EmptyCupp]

DD is 25, is AUDHD and has only ever had (very) part time jobs (all temp roles). I feel as if we’re at the same situation when she was 16 and getting ready to leave school, as she had no idea what she even wanted to go into. She applies for so many jobs (many unsuitable) ie. Bar staff, no good as she doesn’t particularly like mixing with or talking to some people. She’s completed a few college courses (IT was one), she hated It saying it was boring but not coming up with what she would like to do.
Has anyone gone through this, what helped if you have?

Some local authorities have specialist services that support autistic people to find work and help with reasonable adjustments: best endeavours in the workplace.
Would she do volunteering for experience?

The NAS has some advice you could signpost her to

I know it sounds tough but an awful lot of entry level jobs are boring and there isn’t really a way to get around that.

If she’s not keen on dealing with the public, has she tried warehouse work?

Hi, I’ve tried encouraging her to look into this, she did, then found out they were looking for someone to work 40 hours per week. Also, she’s not very tall and this has gone against her too! I’m close to giving up and just don’t know what to do. I think pt work would be a possibility, but quite in what and where, I’m not sure! Thanks for posting, appreciated.

I’m not the tallest and have never really found it hinders employment. Is she under 5’?

Part time warehouse work is proving hard to find, when there’s young lads 6ft looking for work too.
