To get help for college (as someone with autism, here in CA they will help you with college costs)...he actually listened to me and did his research. He needs to give them something when we speak to them tomorrow.
Historical consultant (could be movies, anything) sounded interesting to him.
I did tell him today it will be essential to get an internship, and I will suggest he register as a volunteer docent at the railroad museum so he can get some skills communicating historical information to the public.
They would also teach him about archiving and preservation.
He's a wonderful public speaker, is funny and engaging. he needs to get that on his resume.
