Progress in adulting

 Progress in adulting

1. When asked to do something he doesn't want to do #1 rants for shorter and shorter periods of time and often then just does it. (Assuming he sees the point of it.) Or he comes up with a reasonable compromise.
2. #2 has a line on a reasonable government job that he can do well and that is well suited to him. (Government jobs have lots of accommodations and support for neuroatypical.)
3. #1 hasn't gotten a handle on his diet (he's classic 'metabolic syndrome') but he understands the need and sometimes he tries. He cheerfully does his 300 calorie a day bike trainer routine. Every day.
4. #1 has done a good job as a volunteer/aide for special hockey. (He can't really play because his shot is far too hard for our goalies and he never figured out how to shoot any other way.)
5. #1 has managed, so far, to avoid conflict with an adult coworker who bullies and torments him.
6. #2 has passed his community college courses so far and may be willing to do more technical coursework (that's likely to be a good fit for the gov job).
7. #2 has been doing a solid CrossFit derivative workout once weekly. He's willing to exercise 3 times a week and his strength and endurance are consistently improving.
