Sign cleaning keeps teenager with autism 'focused'

A 15-year-old boy with autism has been cleaning a town's road signs and cutting back hedges to keep him"focused" during and after lockdown.

Joseph Beer, who also has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder , has been cycling around Chatteris, Cambridgeshire, tidying things up.Joseph said:"A lot of people have said 'well done, thank you' and told me how much of a difference it's making."Joseph has been cleaning road signs and cutting back hedges to make them visible

Joseph was forced to spend more time in his neighbourhood due to the coronavirus lockdown and began to notice road signs that were either dirty or blocked by trees and hedges. He uses a trailer he made with his dad, Mark, to carry a pair of branch cutters and some cleaning equipment, and goes out on his bike most days."It's incredible how much of a difference it makes," he said.

Superb!

Well done 👍

bless him he obviously has it mild

well done son

So important to value and support these youngsters.

Bravo. Bet the Unions complain though.

Well done. Puts council’s to shame they’re alright to take council tax and should be doing this street maintenance. Probably using government cut backs as an excuse.

Meanwhile DWP investigate his pip.

That's amazing, and a strong work ethic aswell, that wouldn't have been easy. It's also great to see people supporting and expressing their gratitude for his work.

Only Suppression.. When he gets home the mind drifts again! So I see on here is a World Renowned 4 year Award Winning Author on the mind and brain - yet he says 'I think the brain overshadows the mind' In One Week or Month that Kid Could Be Fine! Simple..but NO! You Choose This

Well done

What a great lad. Shame the council can’t do what he does.

Brilliant

Fine example. You should be proud of yourself

Very good

Love this 👏👏👏
