[quote=Anonymous]In the moment though you can try a verbal interruption procedure to redirect. (Look this up). Big picture though Id ask myself if he can make a career with this knowledge? If so then help expand it rather than shut it down. I’d say something like wow this is so interesting. What do you think about X, Y, and Z? Can you go find out for me? Make these X, Y, Z questions things he doesn’t know. Maybe check out some realtor education books, landscaping design, city planning, etc. Take him to the library and see what interests him.

Maybe you can meet with a realtor and ask about some ways to expand and evolve the knowledge he has. Or take him to home shows and open houses and let him work on his social skills and info dump to someone new. Take him to the zoning and planning committee meetings and let him ask a question.

Is he high functioning enough to get a job? He can help a landscaper or builder or developer. What about volunteering for habitat for humanity? Job at a local hardware store? All of this won’t stop him but it might give you new info to listen to and spark a potential career path and help social skills.

I’d also work on reciprocal communication skills. [/quote]
