CART/captioning might be good for your son, or it might not. He has demonstrated the manual dexterity for the task, but captioning is not typed on a regular keyboard. I believe most court reporters type at 200+ wpm on a keyboard that uses syllables rather than letters. If he went to school for it, he might do great because we already know his fingers can move fast! And while he was in school he could work for a relay company - they use regular keyboards and I think the average they look for is 50 wpm, so he'd be a star!
