I try to pick up some suggestions from Temple Grandin, an American woman with aspergers: does your daughter have any interest in something in order to use that as a propeller for her motivation?

I am already working as a translator from home but I will have to go abroad from time to time for a certain period of weeks /months to update the language. learning programming may be a good option, thank you for the suggestion!

Dear all, I am worried about how to earn my living. I don't have an official diagnosis of aspergers but I can only explain my difficulties with that spectrum. I think I have discovered I cannot work in touch with people (1) and that I cannot live away from my relatives(2). When I was a teenager I believed I had to do something with foreign languages. So I did. Now I could work as a translator but that would require living away from my family and lot of contacts with people. I cannot live without knowing I have my family closed to me. I ve tried it and It makes me feel extremely depressed ,to use an euphemism. On the one hand I cannot cope with working abroad and among people. On the other hand I don't know how I could live here with what I have been trained to (translator). Could you please tell me if you have experienced anything similar and how have you managed or tried to manage it? Thanks a lot Dave
