He struggled through school even though we managed to get extra funding for a SEN teacher (though we never had any confidence with him, as we thought he didn’t really understand Ryans condition). We have helped him to find a number of jobs over the years, but he hated being stuck inside. He never really knew what we wanted to do, but he always loved doing energetic things. He did ice skating when he was 11 years old and was in a few shows. Nowadays, Ryan roller skates, loves bouldering/climbing, kayaking, snowboarding, he is always active and loves outdoors. We have helped him to buy a van and turn it into a campervan, now he goes off into the countryside and the Lake district whenever he can. He is now telling me that he wants to train as an Aborist/Tree Surgeon and would love to be a Ranger eventually. I have looked for jobs for him, but they are all asking for qualifications or experience. Unfortunately, anything academic and he ‘switches off’. Can you help?
