Here’s the haps:
Having family members on the spectrum and knowing some other people with autism and things related to it I understand that some people have challenges and face uphill climbs. Many times people with special needs are bullied or shunned, either on purpose or inadvertently. When I saw an article about this young man, Marcus Moore, who is working on making his own way, I was impressed.
The basic story is that he got a job as a night stocker at a grocery store and my reading between the lines says that he wasn’t treated very nicely. He got a different job working days at a different grocery store and says they were helpful and taught him things but he also recognizes that he doesn’t have the social skills and leadership skills necessary to get promoted beyond a certain point. Which he may have reached. But he wanted more. He loves his parents and knows they love him but he wanted to be independent. Together they figured out that with his love of pretzels, he could start his own business. Which he did. In 6 months he has grown to where he is looking to find a commercial kitchen and hire a few people. He wants to give people like himself a chance to succeed also.
I see on his website, Moore Crunch that he has a 10-day wait.

I like comments and try to respond to them all if I can:
