That is super cool. What kind of research are you guys currently working in regards to autism? Do you guys do any sort of neuroscientific research?

We do all kinds of research, including plenty of neuroscientific research.
However, I mainly input data (and I have to keep any judgement to myself), which means that I don't know much about the actual research.

Is there anything that's been recently published? I'm super interested in neuroscience.

There's plenty of stuff published. I will PM you the contact(s).

Got my first job at 16 – stocking shelves in Dunnes Stores (Irish supermarket chain) earning a princely $4.50 per hour in 1996.
Worked that job for 5 years until I got my first full-time job (counting bricks and doors) and jumped on a plane to Toronto.
It wasn’t that bad a job looking back on it.

What do you mean counting bricks and doors? ?
I would have jumped on a plane as well.

Quantity Surveyor / Cost Estimator / Construction Cost Consultant - delete as applicable.
A door / brick counter is how I jokingly describe my job.

How about a sidewalk inventory counter? Would be someone who checks the condition of sidewalks.

ha!
Ok, you scared me. I was going to shed a wee tear for you because counting bricks and doors sounds psychosis-inducing.

Mr S worked a couple of summers for Ducks Unlimited, making sure waterways were running and not blocked by dams or debris. He called himself a Beaver Relocation Specialist.

Many just loaf around with parents money.
That is why most people dont grow up till 25 now

I don't think this is at all accurate, even as a generalization.
Going to school full-time, first in HS, then in Uni is not 'loafing'; or if it is, you're doing it wrong.
I don't think having a job during HS is at all essential; if one can do so expressly in summer for a few weeks, or if we're talking about the odd lawn mowing or snow shoveling for a neighbour, sure...
But I'd rather students focused their energy not only on graduating but doing doing with good marks, rather than making pocket money.
Once at the Uni age, its certainly wise to get a summer job, especially when you're off for the better part of 4 months. The experience is useful.
But I don't think the stats support a huge decline in summer employment by those over 19; it mostly shows a substantial drop in teenage employment, which I see as a positive.
Lets add that some of the drop in teen employment is actually a drop in full-time employment of dropouts, who now graduate HS.

Doesn't one need to be over 19 to sell cigarettes and/or alcohol? That means most high schoolers cannot be even stock those items.
