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
