Has he demonstrated any areas of technical interest or skills? I know of a few that have Asperger’s, and they excel in certain areas given the ‘ability’ to tune out the world. Also young adult males aren’t the best at communication — perhaps that’s compounding things.

Good planning regarding the second home.

Likes tech, good at math and a memory like a elephant.

I need to try and get him onto programming again. He gets frustrated easily. Tried Python and the, Invalid Syntax, message got to him big time.

I’m a talented blue collar guy and was kinda looking forward to teaching that but even without autism/Asperger’s, that wasn’t a guarantee.

Maybe I’ll try CAD drawing/drafting and maybe some other programming language for the web. Best for at home freelancing. I tried getting him to build his own website a few years ago. He’s had a lot more time online now so maybe I can have him do that. I know html and css pretty well and have used WordPress and other Content Management Systems to build a couple of dozen websites. Most CMSs are done with PHP which has Error messages that give a better clue than Invalid Syntax.
