I think in previous posts I have discussed my teen-age aspie fishing friend.  He is a walking encyclopedia of all that is fishing.  Luckily, for his parents, they have a creek behind their house where he is able to just go fish his little heart out.  Well,  his mother told me that he just got a very part time job at a local fishing store.  He is in his glory.  He works one afternoon a week and gets to sell,talk and be with fishing stuff.  How many of us would like a job dealing with something we have such a passion for?

While their passions  may need to be limited if interfering in daily tasks, in the work environment they can be the motivator that can provide them with fulfillment and accomplishment.  I know my fishing friend is very happy with his current position.
