He told me his way to becoming a professor, and advised me to draw inspiration from setting professional goals such as where I want to be in 5 or 10 years. Maybe that's the NT way of thinking, but it may also be helpful to me, maybe.
I have tended to be a grasshopper while my also-aspie sister is an ant. I think my youth was more fun, but now that we are older, she is way better off.
I try to encourage my children to be more ant-like, but you gotta follow your heart. Is being established more important or living in the moment?
