If you want to get lost looking at old photographs, the Smithsonian’s Flikr pages
will gladly provide you with hours of distraction.
In this morning’s NYT there is a story of a man purported to have Aspergers Syndrome and is focused on the workings of the New York City Transit System.

He is an adult with a long history of behavior and non-violent confrontation with the NYC TA and their employees. He has driven busses and subway trains along their routes. He has made an effort to become part of the system.
The fact that he’s been allowed to do this over and over again shows he has the skill and knowledge to slip right into the role. It appears to me there has to be a way to make him part of the system in a controlled role so that his “obsession” as the NYT is calling it, can be used in a positive way.
