Careers for highly sensitive people (orchid child)

What sort of careers would you suggest for a highly sensitive person?DD likes acting but that is a competitive world. She doesn’t want to do office jobs. I thinking working for herself would suit her best. Something like therapist, acupuncturist, etc. She is very creative, perspective, imaginative but doesn’t cope well in stressful environments.

I agree, I’ve got a profoundly autistic son and he’s the very opposite of an orchid child.

He’s whatever the plant equivalent of barbed wire is.

Brambles. Lovely and wonderful and improves the world by being here - but they will shred you if you approach them wrong.
