Saltz says she has talked with many experts, such as in autism, who say 20% of time should be spent working on the problem and 80% on exploring and enhancing strengths.

Genius or not spending more time, money and effort on building strengths instead of trying to fix 'wrong" would be a good thing.

There is also the concept that the time and energy you have isn't a zero sum game.
If you spend all your time doing stuff you hate you will quickly run out of energy.
If you do stuff you like you can keep going and going like the "Energizer Bunny."
So, spending time on stuff you like may actually allow you to spend more stuff
on stuff you need to do but don't like. 8O 8O

Good. We need more books like this. We need to shed light on the idea that all life is worthy of LiFE.
