Hi Sir, my son is diagnosed with mild intellectual disability.apprearing for xth.standard exam from SSC TS board .he is having difficulty in concentration on studies and also maths subject.could you please suggest for further studies which couses best fits fir this kind of problem..as a parents what should we do for his career

Ans: Dear Nitin,
I don't find any details to work on and suggest much to you.
What makes your son not interested in studies? Why has he suddenly stopped going to school? Did anything unpleasant happen at school? Have you spoken to the school authorities? IS the environment at home not a happy one?
These questions need to be answered which become information to go towards any solution. Also, how is the connection between the mother and son (your wife and your son)?
For now, I guess you can take the help of an adolescent counselor who can help guide your son out of whatever he is going through. The expert will anyway ask these questions and then work from thereon...

All the best!

Ans: Hrishikesh Sir,

Apologize for the late reply.

Congratulations to your son for finishing his CBSE with success despite having autism. Also good to hear that your son has started doing computer studies in Excel data. He CAN and will be successful in his career and life.

First of all, which course/nature of work will be more suitable for your son depends upon:

(1) His Visual Thinking Power. If he has good visual thinking power, some of the jobs (illustrative examples) that will be more suitable for him are Computer Programming, Engineering Drawing/Computer Aided Drawing, Commercial Art, Lab Technician, Video Game Designer, etc.

(2) Non-Visual Thinking Power: Statistician, Clerical Works, Inventory Control, Electrical-Electronic-Chemical Engineering, Library Science, Copy Editor, Any specialized field in Accounting, etc.

(3) Non-verbal: Data Entry Jobs etc.

The above will help you to choose the right course for your son.

Next Step: MOST IMPORTANT: The best source to know about the Employment Opportunities in Govt. Departments for your son is, approaching the LOCAL EMPLOYMENT EXCHANGE which can / SHOULD provide you a detailed information/data for autistic children under the RIGHTS OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES ACT, 2016.

And Just for your information Sir, I have reproduced an article from the ECONOMIC TIMES Newspaper.

The enactment of Right of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016, had increased reservation in government jobs and educational institutions for disabled from 3 to 4% and the number of benchmark disabilities from 7 to 21. An expert committee under the DEPwD secretary was formed to review the government posts which could be opened up for the new categories of differently-abled. The expert committee finalized its report in November 2019 (Source: Economic Times).

All the BEST to your Son for his Bright Future, sir.

Convey my regards to your beloved Son.

Ans: I think important is to understand the concepts then rote learning.
Make him understand the concepts by giving him the concept based learning, paired with activities and objective tests from each lesson before you start giving him more Lessons to learn. Divide the task into shorter achievable goals to develop the intrest.
