Agree, we should exploit autistic people's hyperfixations for profit ๐Ÿฅ€

Ending profit seemed to be the suggestion

It'd still be profit-oriented fundamentally, just more obfuscated since in this case the capitalist becomes the state, paying the worker a nonwage to reproduce their labor in exchange for the autistic service they provide to others. Within a private company, the worker is paid a wage to reproduce their labor in exchange for the service they provide to others.

I think the OP way is still ways better than what we are currently doing. And done right it wouldn't be any more exploiting than what we are doing to neurotypicals. Everyone needs to feel valuable and that they have a purpose. I for one feel most alive when my skills are put to good use

No, both ways are completely shit - monetizing a hobby or a hyperfixation is the fastest way for it to burn out and make one hate it, speaking from experience. Companies as of "late" have been using this horseshit to get more out of young and impressionable people as well, by working them to the bone and "giving them purpose", making them burn out then throwing them away for the new generation.

That's not to mention the other issues if it worked as "intended" without burnout, such as increased competition depressing wages and creating more poverty since that's how capitalist mode of production works. The only way out is to abolish the present state of things, including wage labor so we make things for their use value, not profit.

Right. Well hurry up with your revolution, because we are losing these people through suicide due to a complete failure in how society treats them
