Progress in adulting

 Progress in adultingWhen 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 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.)#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.#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.)#1 has managed, so far, to avoid conflict with an adult coworker who bullies and torments him.#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).#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.
