  • Then there are the subjects that you actually like, but they can't be bothered to go the extra mile to make it useful to you. Late in life I seem to have discovered that I probably should have done more metalwork. My grandfather ran a foundry. My father didn't go into the family business because of the slump. And I probably inherited some of my manual clumsiness from him. But now I can see I have some ability with metal fabrication, that no one at school ever really made much effort to cultivate, as the family moved so often I just became an inconvenience to most teachers. I'm quite good at improvising. It is worth noting that people on the spectrum often have engineers in previous generations.
