Darrell should definitely be a cashier - I hear he's a whiz at counting change in his sleep. *wink wink*

Ah, the classic 'let's put the disabled person in a custodial job' approach. Real progressive thinking there. Option A all the way!

I'm not sure Darrell's mother or former manager should have that much influence. The key is finding a role that plays to Darrell's strengths, not others' preconceptions.

Agreed. Option A seems like the best choice - let's focus on what Darrell enjoys and is capable of, rather than what others think he should do.

Hmm, I think the most important factor is Darrell's own interests and abilities. Forcing him into a job he doesn't want or can't handle won't help him succeed.
