My son is 18, he works with me as an apprentice, he is learning mechanical skills and performing repetitious habits,he is quite good at staying with a boring job if its simple. used to be society gave the worst jobs to those with Aspergers, now that its been viewed now you see it as an asset to have for jobs that require out of the box thinking.
A person with Aspergers actually is years ahead of others, but because of that are often criticized or taught to “act dumb” so as to not be disruptive to the others in class.
Oh I was smart, and smart enough to piss off the teachers that I also did not want to be a special ed study case. I wanted a simpler life, blue collar work, I can hold my own with some very high engineering experts, but I prefer to live and work a more basic lifestyle.
Thats the danger for anyone with Aspergers, society will try to stereotype you into what they want, they don’t want you with freedom, because should the day come for insurrection you would be their worst enemy.
Schools are run like prisons. If tyranny comes homeschoolers will also be their worst enemy. That is why the government toadies ( misnamed “educators”) hate homeschooling.
