The nice thing about the schools is that it's an evening job durig the school year. As a four hour person I started at 6:00 p.m. and worked until 10:00 p.m. My area was always rather small. My dad was a full time employee and worked at one school only. He worked from 2:30 p.m. until 10:00 p.m. That's when school lets out. So, at first the teachers are there finishing up but then they go home. So it's quiet, no customers or people except the other custodians.

The only variations in his schedule were if there was an event at the school like an art show. At the high school once we had a basketball game when I was working, that was fun. But all of the custodians work as a team for the events, not just one person.

Having a team job with your son might work out. My cousin who has schizophrenia has not been able to hold a job on his own. He is like 50 or 60 now. But, him and his dad used to take on jobs together. They were always low stress jobs, sort of odd jobs. Like they would pass out flyers. Things like that. My uncle has passed away now, so he no longer takes odd jobs because his mom is very ill and not able to help. But you can see this has had a bad effect on him. He's more depressed now (plus he was very close to his dad.)
