No one is pressuring her but herself. My sister told mbe how she ,niece, wants to live in her own place and be independent. Her counseler went the disability benefits she is eligible for and it is not enough to live on.
TAKS is/was the high school exito exam. Sections covered math, english/writing, history and science. All but the math score where super high.
What country do you live in?
Texas, which I forgot to mention.:smack:
I didn’t ask what state you live in; I asked what country.
USA
I’m going to be brutally honest here and tell you that there just aren’t many, if any, jobs for your niece even in the best of circumstances, and it sounds like she lives in bum-fuck nowhere. Maybe you should look at disability and volunteer work with the hope that volunteer work might eventually lead to some paid position.
That’s OK; I’ve decided you’re a troll.
Seriously, you couldn’t figure out USA from the answer Texas? Or is there another Texas located in Lichtenstein?
WTF?
Getting back to the OP. Can she read and copy numbers (not do math just copy numbers)?
I know a lady that does medical coding from her home. She reads medical charts and assigns the correct billing numbers based on the notes.
Work from home
Get to sit, no lifting etc
Make your own hours as long as you get the work done
Numbers but no math.
Would you happen to know how she got into that field? That sounds like something she could do.
Actually I don’t but I’ll inquire for you.
Thanks!
Rick, there were so many typos in the post that prompted that question that even a Texan could not have made them. I add in the OP’s other thread about his “niece” that I linked to above, and I think we’ve got a troll.
That said, if Texans are asked what country they live in, what will the answer be?
Well I can legitimately see where if they answered USA the very next poster might ask which state. Naming the state would seem to head off that second questioning post.
Guess I was wrong about that.
BTW if you ask some Texans what country they live in, it might be a coin toss between USA and Texas as their answer.
I graduated with a 4 year bachelors in Accounting in the past several years. And I had to take college level Algebra and a business Stats course. I helped my friend, who was going into nursing, get through the same two course, and then it ended. No calc for either of us.
But College Algebra is a long way from second grade math - about five years worth of math if you are good at math. And in Minnesota, to graduate you need to pass Algebra 2 in high school - or have taken it twice and gotten a waiver (however, to have taken it twice, you would have had to have passed Alg 2 as a Freshman and Geometry as a Sophomore - which you wouldn’t be passing had you only second grade math skills).
Could she be a manicurist - small detail work, you sit, attention to detail is important and while you might need to take a math course, you won’t be using it other that to figure out who shorted you in tips. I’m think that my Hmong manicurists who don’t speak much English probably didn’t pass higher math tests? It isn’t an easy job (lots of bending over).
Typos,since I suck at typing on touch screens. Plus, I’m not a native Texan.
From the other thread, she’s Genderqueer to the point that she acts and dresses predominately masculine. I doubt she’d be interested in doing manicures, but I guess if she needs to a job is a job.
Most of the “crafty” things with apprenticeships I can think of are considered fairly girly: sewing, jewelry making. The more manly ones would probably be hell on her joints (e.g. Smithing). I don’t know if tailoring, which is fairly gender neutral, would work. It seems like it might. I guess there’s clock fixing…
She actually likes crafty things, mainly functional things though. Her rats had a cage to die for. I mean, she did things with cloth, wood and boxs that I thought were impossible. She bought a standard rat cage, found a smaller oneon CL, wired them together and then created ratty heaven with the cloth and stuff.
Several years ago she mentioned carpentry being interesting, but then the measuring caused issues. 
Hell on the hands, you bend down and stretch up a lot, and you need the ability to follow conversations. Oh, and measure. Being unable to copy the numbers from the tape goes beyond dyscalculia… seriously, ArztWolf?
How the fuck did someone who can’t follow conversations get any kind of school diploma other than a “certificate of having gone to school”, is my question. Or would be, if I hadn’t seen that nice bridge between Laredo and Nuevo Laredo.
She can follow conversations, her proscessing speed can be slow at times (so some days she is slower to respond then others).
Here is a better description then I can give.
http://www.nldontheweb.org/nldadvancedreading/nldclinicaldescription.html
The people who did the testing think she is borderline NLD. She gets social ques, but with the processing issue she has become progressively more withdrawn.
Could she do some kind of writing or editing?
What about crafts of some kind? Maybe she could make things and sell them on eBay or on consignment. She might have difficulty with the arithmetic for eBay but I’ve seen businesses that will sell things on eBay for you.
