Although my son is capable of doing math, he takes more time to do so, and his speech is not very clear, so some jobs which required speaking with customers or using a cash register were not the best choices. He did finally get a job in the kitchen at a local nursing home. He does not have to use a cash register, nor deal with the public. This has been a great fit for him. My advice to Kylie would be to look at these types of options. A hospital is another place to look where they are a little more sensitive to people who have disabilities. Good luck to Kylie.
