What kinds of jobs do you think he’s capable of? What are his interests besides for computer parts?

It's not really a matter what he is capable of..he is very rigid and not very flexible at all..that's part of how his brain works..so even if he can do many other things..he loves computers and won't do anything else.

Can you reach out to something like yachad? I know they do job placements for their clients.

The key is find what he is good at and what he loves to do. Then work from there. So you say he loves computers, look for a job working with computers that doesn't involve flexibility. Work with his strengths, avoid his weaknesses. He has so much to share with the world!
