What's your fun?

Here's a clip from 60 minutes with a story and interview about a 13 year old who was diagnosed with Autism at age 2, but through continued efforts of his parents and fostering his interest in science, he has more or less moved pass the autistic symptons. It's quite a remarkable story, not only because of the turnaround but becaue he's now, at 13, a sophomore in college.

My favorite part of the interview by Mike Wallace is about four and half minutes into the clip:

• Wallace: What do you do you for fun?
• Jake: When it doesn’t involve academics?
• Wallace: Beyond the academics?
• Jake (smirk): Does looking up space articles online count?
• Wallace: <laughter>

Jake is both completely aware of what he enjoys and that it's likely different from what might be considered a normal 'fun' activity. He is also completing accepting of it, he doesn't hide it. It's part of who he is.

So what's your fun? That is putting aside any judgment, any ideas of what normal might be.  Maybe collecting quirky salt and pepper shakers, or reading Vogue cover to cover every month (and you're a guy :-), or perhaps number and letter games with license plates (me).

What's your true fun?
