Shoe Processing – An Autism Job Story
My name is Connor
I am almost 20 years old.
I work at TJ Maxx.
My job is being a shoe processor. I take shoeboxes out of
the cardboard boxes which are shipped to my store.
I also break down the boxes to recycle and I code the shoes
by writing the numbers on the bottom.
I also censor the shoes so there will not be any burglary.
I work for 4 hours from 11:00am until 3:00pm (my favorite time!) at 1:00pm I am permitted to take a 15 minute break.
Sometimes I get frustrated but I love this job! When I get paid I like to buy books and go to the movies!
I love this job!!!
