[quote=Anonymous]i would be very thoughtful about this. If an autistic person is going to have obsessions, then money is probably the best one. You dont want him to stop being obsessed with money (if it is his special interest and he is academically inclined then AMAZING). You want to teach him how to talk about it in polite society. But I would be very wary of making him feel like being obsessed with it is 'wrong'. I am obsessed with money! If i weren't IDK how I'd make myself do my very stressful and annoying job. Obsession with money is what makes a lot of other things tolerable in life. So let him be into first class tix (1st class is great!). Just teach him he can talk about it at home but be mindful that some ppl do not have lots of money so maybe in public we are mindful.[/quote]
