According to the Daily Mail, an autistic teenager in Brisbane has made thousands of Australian dollars in cleaning his garbage bin after struggling to find a part-time job.
Louis (Clay Lewis), 16, is said to be from southeast Brisbane. He was diagnosed with autism at the age of 2. His mother said few employers were willing to offer him an after-school job because Louis spoke differently from others.
More than a year ago, with the help of his mother, Louis started his clean trash business, Clay's Bin Cleaning, and now he has 70 clients, about 30 of whom have become regular visitors. He also hired three classmates as employees.
Louis charges A $10 per trash can and A $5 per additional trash can. He also helped charities clean trash cans free of charge.
Louise's mother said she wanted her son to be a fully independent member of the community without having to rely on community welfare for autism.
Now, Louise's clean trash business is booming, and his mother needs an app to help him manage clients. While plans for post-high school graduation have yet to be determined, he is likely to expand his cleaning business to clean lanes.
Louise's mother says parents of disabled children should not consider it difficult to find a job. Some families are very busy and need to hire others to do some work, such as walking dogs, watering, mowing lawns, cleaning swimming pools, and so on, which are jobs for people with disabilities. She encouraged parents to help their children find opportunities and set up a Facebook page for their children.
Louis, who has earned more than A $6000, wants to travel to Dubai to watch the Formula one Racing Championships.
