How can I help my Autistic son with Affiliate Marketing please?

Thanks for the valuable info. I had tried only Mobile 'push notifications' Affiliate Marketing few years back but not Amazon, Shopify e.t.c. I do web design and Small Business SEO so I will be teaching him what I know and will be trying to get him some work in those fields.

We had tried local Museums but job market here is very difficult right now. He even went to a couple interviews for fast food restaurants and did not get it. I haven't tried Nonprofits yet but will look into it, thanks.

Well correct, you don't know much [or anything at all] about Autism so let me educate you on it a little. In a nutshell High functioning means he is or can be independent to a certain level but there are limitations to all that he can do and will need help with certain things, this is just a brief overview.

I did not direct him to fast foods or any other job, those are his decisions, he wants to work and in my opinion him wanting to seek any temp job or opportunity just to keep himself busy right now until he finds what he's looking for plus no issue with getting real world experience in any job he can handle should only do good things for him.

If Mike is to have any chance at living on his own he will need to have experience in the world and not sheltered here in this house. He wants his own apartment and job so who am I to stop him? Matter of fact I always preach to him that he should not let his autism rob him of a 'normal' life. He can accomplish this just needs some help with certain things. I know lots of young adults in similar situation who are working and living on their own so yes he can have success, with some help.

You are entitled to your opinion but it's WRONG! As a parent I am doing a mix of what he wants and what's best for him as is the case with all of us Caregivers and it's a fine line between the two. No I am not confusing him, everything he does he runs it by me first and it is my job to encourage him 'realistically', but certainly not limit him.

Have you looked into online jobs?

Yes, he has applied to many online jobs via Indeed, linkedin and other avenues.

Does he know how affiliate marketing works and that there are several ways to set things up?

No, now looking into it.

Has he done anything with the A.I. illustrators such as Midjourney?

Yes

Have you combined your web development with affiliate marketing?

Yes

Are you using social media?

Yes

Do you know how to make videos?[/QUOTE]

Yes

I'm not into telling people what to do about their adult children, but why don't you give him a choice in doing what he is good at, and just provide the guidance he needs to keep him focused, if that is an issue. [/QUOTE]

That is what he is doing, making his own decisions and is what I am doing whether you see that or not.

I know very well what a lot of his limitations are and all caregivers try to get their child/adult to work around whatever limitations but will not throw them into a situation in which we foresee will be detrimental to them. There are other aspects of this not mentioned here associated with these kids like anxiety, depression and suicide issues e.t.c.

Word of advice to you, do not go attacking or pointing fingers to any Caregiver of a child/adult with any disability because we all do not have the answers for everything, we try our very best to help our child in every possible area. And for the high functioning who 'wants' to be independent, it is our responsibility to try as best as we can to do whatever we can to help prepare them for life on their own 'for after we're gone' as only other option is they will need to live in some State-run facility which is NOT a good thing.
