| We knew it was time to tell my son when he was coming home from school and having horrible meltdowns saying things like: "what is wrong with my me?"

| So many great replies to your post, wow! I would also stress the diet thing.

He is a 13 year old with AS, he... |

My 9 year old Apie has started to teach himself programming with python. I was wondering if something like Arduino or Nerdkits would help him learn more (I am an NT who knows nothing about computers), anyone have any advice on either of those ?
Thanks |
