Shredding
Mikey has had lots of vocational training throughout his years at school. For a more complete review of Mikey’s favorite jobs and an explanation of why I am (very, very) pro-vocational training, click the link below.
Possibly his favorite job over the years was shredding old tests at our local high school. He found the process very satisfying. When he left to go to a school specifically for kids with autism, he got to try out other jobs but left his shredding days behind.
Until Recently
We were cleaning out some old file cabinets and Dave mentioned that we’d need to shred some of the old documents related to taxes and financial records. I was abnormally excited by this!
Dave ordered a shredder on amazon, and we put our not-so-little buddy to work immediately.
Thanks for the help, pal! You’re the best!!
