In celebration of LB’s first ever job interview, at very short notice. A volunteer post at Helen and Douglas House, two hours a week to start with. He handled the interview the way he largely handles life; quietly chattering to himself and occasionally breaking off, when gently encouraged [nagged], to answer. The volunteer co-ordinator who interviewed him was exceptional. As were the receptionist and the estate manager who will be in charge of him. It was one of those very rare times, outside of family, school and some specialist support, that everyday rules are adjusted (or ditched) to enable a different engagement. One in which unusual behaviours aren’t ‘wrong’. Just different.
And LB? He rocked it.

Wrong is a mere value judgement anyway. Well done to him.
Too right. Thanks!
And revised to reflect 🙂
Wonderful news. Well done LB, and well done to the interviewer, receptionist and estates manager.
Fantastic! Congratulations LB.
I am made up to read this. Well done LB. Well done everyone involved. See, it’s not impossible – a bit of flexibility, tolerance and acceptance and everyone’s quality of life improves.
Glad to hear that it all went so well.
