My sister is still waiting on that one. We've successfully eliminated most high school maths, and there's no visible aptitude for computer science, so presumably, her specialty is in something more esoteric...
Creative fields? Also, some of the more operational kinds of work, such as CAD could be viable. I know personally that I'm not able to focus strongly on math as much as I am when designing things on a computer. That said, it's more the problem solving than the designing.
To summarize my post that I have a lot of feelings on: Applied problem solving may be a good area to investigate, as may the creative fields.
Honestly, best of luck to you and her.
That was more of a joke. We know she's a creative type, but she's not exactly rainman in anything that we know of. She might actually be extremely good at something, but she's been turned off of all of it for now (Actually CAD is a good suggestion, I'll have to ask her to look into that).
She's... well she's always been almost normal. If she were much weirder than she'd be comfortably in the "too weird" category, and most people would leave her alone or even find her charming. As it stands, her behavior is in that uncanny valley where she is normal enough that her little weird things bother her peers tremendously: she seems a lot like she
should be normal, but isn't. It's kind of sad: she really likes people. being with people, talking to people, and all of that (a hell of a lot more than I do, for sure), but she has such trouble, especially with people her own age. There's almost never been a period where she
hasn't been bullied, despite all the different schools.
Maybe things will be better for her in college. That's the hope, anyway. Things could also be awful, but she really is a friendly, relatable person. And kids like her (a lot more than they did when she was herself a kid, interestingly enough).
