Positive AS Story

[Cat]

Just to even the odds a little and to add a positive spin to AS I would like to share this with you all. We should never say never where our autistic children are concerned (I am sure that we don't anyway) Many things are possible in time.

 

My 21 year old son who has Aspergers Syndrome and also Keratoconus (a severe visual impairment) has just been officially named on the credits of a new Wii Ware Game Niki Rock and Ball a platform non-violent game for all ages (I will understand if naming this game is breaking forum rules and is removed) He is very happy and I am very proud. He spends his time reviewing games and has his own You Tube Channel http://uk.youtube.com/user/DEIVION212 and this is the icing on the cake for him and me to if I am being honest.

 

This comes after my son had a total breakdown aged 11 from which it took him over five years to recover but he did it which again is evidence that although these things often take a long time they can get better.

Thank you so much for sharing your lovely news, such a positive and an inspiration. My son too is very much in to computers and gaming, reviewing, making or testing games would be his dream job.

 

A HUGE well done to your son and a HUGE <'> for you, I just love those proud parent moments.

Badders the game has to be downloaded But the good news is that it is only 500 wii ware points which I am told add up to �3.50 in real money I know that DS3 is already hocked, but then that is par for the course, had to come the heavy hand earlier today because we needed to finish our HE Christmas Project and so reminded DS3 that 'our school' was not breaking up until it was finished. He got the message and we are all sorted now and school has now officially broken up
