I wrote a blog post that I hope will create not only great conversation but also create context for how I want to share my thoughts on how I began to capitalize and build a career off of my "passions" (or rather, obsessions and Special Interests).

It's interesting to note that neurotypicals will literally pay you to help them do what we find so natural. We live in amazing times...

Your Itch - http://aspie.co/itch/

Love your thoughts here as well as how you'd like me to share more information about this! Love to help fellow aspies here!

Great post. I think people on the spectrum that can turn their itch into a profession can really open the doors of possibility. I also really like your perspective that NTs can be "trained" to learn some of our traits in the same way that we have to learn some of theirs.
