Grandson Zeke got a job at Steak and Shake 2819C Wilma Rudolph
Clarksville, TN 37040, he is on the autism spectrum. Miss Debbie (day manager) hired him and work well with him also the evening manager. But Michael (store manager), does not believe in autism. Zeke tried to inform him of it and Michael stated that he didn't care, get rid of it and do all 3 things at time. Michael has put him down because of it, Zeke was originally scheduled 29-32 hours a week, but since Michael believes Zeke does not have autism he has cut him down to 9 hours a week. Autism is real. Nobody should be made to feel the way Michael has made my grandson feel. like its his fault. Zeke is good dependable hard worker (according to Miss Debbie), but now is looking for another job. I worked at Steak and Shake 20 years ago and still have family members working there in Indianapolis. Need to teach Managers, individuals in authority about how to react and deal with individuals who are different from them.
Desired outcome: Teaching people in authority to be more respectful of others that have disabilities.
