I produced a tv show at local public access tv and learned a lot.... that said, why do you want to find something that interests him? I feel like that's an important detail you left out. what do you hope to accomplish? producing a tv show very similar to playing video games. | |

I have no problems with silence, but I find conversations awkward. If he enjoys video games, he might enjoy the challenges of live broadcast videography. Check out your local community/cable TV provider, they are always looking for volunteers. The crew that I lead is mostly teens. | |

| Jan 22, 2018 at 15:33 | comment | added | Becuzz | Maybe look at what kind of games he likes to play for ideas? Video games many times encourage problem solving skills, so something that employs those kinds of skills. If he likes things like SimCity, Minecraft, Terraria, etc. then maybe something like architecture or programming. Look at the skills used, not necessarily the subject matter. Many people like shooter type games, but would probably hate something like security or law enforcement. Guns in video games are not the same as guns in real life. | |

Or he may be a gardener! It sounds to me like he may be tied to computer-games, yes, but be seeking to something more natural that does not involve people. People are complicated and hard after all! | |
