#特殊的残障员工洗车行
"Reverse, pour, pour, fine, stop". At the door of a car wash shop in Zhengzhou, Zhang Qin, a 55-year-old boss, only stood on the side of the road and directed the driver who came to wash the car to stop, and the driver only showed a familiar and kind smile to Zhang Qin after getting out of the car.
Unlike others, the 6 employees in the store are all disabled, they have language disabilities, physical mobility disabilities, and intellectual disabilities, but they are not sloppy at all in their work, they are extra serious, and in the 8 years since the establishment of the car wash, they have long regarded this as a home.
"Most of the people who come to the store to wash cars are repeat customers, and there have been car owners who have crossed half the city to wash cars," Zhang Qin said proudly. In order to live up to the trust and expectations of car owners, the car wash has never raised the price in 8 years.
#大家眼中的 "Mom"
The 6 disabled employees in the car wash shop are of different ages, but they all call Zhang Qin only "mother", even "Old Zhao", who is only seven years older than Zhang Qin.
"Spicy or not?" "Spicy". "Is it delicious or not?" "Delicious". Zhang Qin's warm conversations with employees sound like a family.
In other places, employees have experienced discrimination, food and clothing can not be maintained, after coming to the car wash, from eating, haircuts and other food, clothing, housing and travel, Zhang Qin only takes care of the lives of employees like her own children.
In 8 years, she had not visited the supermarket once, and she went out once, and she also took everyone out together, because as long as she left, the store would be messed up.
"Living here is very good, sometimes it feels better than the life of my own family," said an employee happily.
#难吗? Difficult, but the future can be expected
Due to the fact that the price of car wash has not increased in the past 8 years, coupled with the rise in daily expenses, car wash shops have faced great difficulties in the past two years, and the annual rent has become the biggest pressure.
But even if it is difficult, the car wash will not increase the price. One is because customers are repeat customers, old customers; second, because employees are inconvenient to move, it is inevitable that the car is not in place, and customers understand. And it is the customer's kindness, Zhang Qin only strengthened her own ideas.
Hearing that Zhang Qin only had difficulties in operation, the MYbank Public Welfare Small Shop Alliance took the initiative to provide her with a public welfare fund to share the operating costs, and this kind act also made the car wash shop better.
When asked about his wishes, an employee said: "I hope my mother is healthy, safe and secure, and find me a daughter-in-law."
And "I hope that employees have a home, have something to do, eat well, live well, and have money to spend" has become Zhang Qin's biggest wish and what she is doing.
#大龄孤独症就业怎么办?
Even in developed European and American countries, autism employment also faces many difficulties. The United States reported that about 1/2 of American autistic people are unemployed; 1/3 of educated autistic people are unemployed; and most of the autistic people looking for work work work in shelters and are paid less than the national minimum wage.
Although some employers have begun to express concerns about hiring autistic people, they have given positive evaluations to the good memory and detail-handling ability of autistic people with some vocational training and experience, and have highly rated their ability to follow rules and procedures. Therefore, the diversity and multipolarization of professional training for autistic children are emphasized, and the knowledge related to autism is added to the training to eliminate misunderstandings among employees, increase the guidance and support of employees in the work process, and improve the employment opportunities for autism.

Older children with high-functioning autism or Asperger's have many characteristics and advantages, such as trustworthiness and reliability, low absenteeism, a high sense of order, strong memory, concentration and persistence, extraordinary graphic discrimination, attention to detail, the transformation advantage of "stereotypical behavior" and so on.
Therefore they are suitable for:
Simple and repetitive work content: such as book or shelf arrangement, delivery of milk, simple assembly line assembly, etc.;
Doesn't require a lot of social interpersonal and eloquent work: such as back-office work;
Occupations with clear work goals in the short term;
Suitable for people who are outstanding in some aspect: various talent shows, computer programmers, etc.
Based on the cognitive patterns and characteristics of children with autism, the following recommendations are made for the employment of people with high-functioning autism or Asperger's:
Research professions: Many Aspergers have special interests and a wealth of knowledge in specific professions such as mathematics, insects, biology, celestial bodies, mechanics, fine arts, art, programming, history, military, etc. It is possible for them to obtain relevant professional qualifications through individual teaching, so they are suitable for research work in universities, various research institutes, museums, botanical gardens, zoos, forestry institutes, information and intelligence, IT industry and other workplaces.
Computer-related industries: the connotation of computer programs is nothing more than relying on 0 and 1 programming, and the fixed repetitive operation of choosing one or the other is especially suitable for the characteristics of autistic people, this profession does not need to contact too many people, does not have to deal with complex interpersonal relationships, and it is easy for ass to adapt and indulge in such work. There are reports of high autism among the descendants of IT industry professionals, and I have met many parents of such children in my clinic.
Certain service industries, such as caring for the elderly, helping the disabled and the critically ill, pet shops and pet shelters, zookeepers, etc. are all suitable for the interests of astros.
Hotel back-office services and management: such as room cleaning and sorting, hotel item allocation, luggage check-in storage, hotel warehouse storage, back-end security, etc.
Freelance: pastry baking, auto electrical repair, commodity sub-packaging management, flower arrangement and flower raising in the flower shop, handicraft production and self-sale, etc.
Library Management and Translation: Public libraries have simple and repetitive arrangements for book materials, but require patience, attention to detail and sustainability, and are also suitable for autistic people; if they have a good level of foreign language proficiency, doing material translation work is also very suitable for them.
