My situation is a bit different, but amounts to pretty much the same thing. My parents are probably both Aspies as was my FIL most likely. MIL was the ultimate social butterfly and DD is also. DS is Aspie. DH and I are both shy and awkward, especially in groups or first meeting people. Dd's friends ...

If you can deal with the dirty aspects of it there is always need for kennel help. You would be feeding, cleaning up and exercising them. You could start by volunteering in a shelter to try it out and have a good reference for getting a job.

My son began doing this at age one and is still doing it at age 21. Frankly it's the least troublesome of his Aspie traits.
