The dad or brother need to buy that kid an Xbox or something. He is still rocking the N64.

Awesome story.

Posted this vid on another board and this was one of the replies:
quote:


When I worked at Walgreens their VP of Supply Chain was in a similar situation to this family. He had an autistic child that was a couple years from aging out of the school system so he partnered with Seimens to design a distribution center that could operate at peak performance with a largely disabled workforce. They now have three such DCs. The first was in Anderson, SC, which is the town in which the story that became the movie Radio took place. That quickly became and continues to be the best DC in the company and about 35% of the workforce are cognitively disabled and another 10% are physically disabled.


It's great to hear about there being viable options out there.
