First Paychecks for Ryan and Nick

Ryan in his new role

Easter has come and gone, and so has the Easter Bunny.  Literally. Ryan and Nick’s jobs are finished as the Easter Bunny moves on, but not without some unexpected surprises.  Ryan was able to fill in as “The Bunny” when needed.  He loved it.  He liked to interact with the kids, but he didn’t have to talk!  A dream job for someone with autism!!

Saturday was also pay day.  Both Ryan and Nick received their first paychecks.  Smile they did.

This has been a wonderful learning experience for both of them.  They had to learn to speak up to get information.  They were guided on their duties throughout the few weeks.  Mike and I transported them to and from the job.  Sometimes they didn’t like the wait, so their driving becomes paramount now.

Tis one more step towards independence!  (Theirs and ours!!)
