I missed this thread earlier. Great designs. :winnersmiley: Just fun.

 

Maybe I will do some quilt designs this way. It's faster than sewing one. LOL

Thank you Prof Paul . Hayden has taught himself how to code video games , how to play the keyboard ,and is now learning (on his own ) japanese . however something simple like riding a bike eludes him . He is a joy as I am sure your brother is also .

 

My father probably had Aspergers. I might have it. My adult son probably has it and my teenage daughter has been diagnosed with it. My son does not drive but he rides a bicycle and can't draw that well and has "maze/video game map" memory and isn't not great at social. My daughter wants to be social but has a severe (possibly related to the Aspergers) stammer and word retrieval problem. She has great fine motor control, taught herself computer "painter" techniques, good aural memory --except for chores-- and cannot ride a bicycle but she is an ice skater learning edges, very quick and tight at turns, and mastering low level jumps to earn a USFSA Freeskate 1 badge. She is devoting her senior HS year to commercial art program.

 

(And I cannot get either of them interested in this game (sigh).

 

Emphasize what Hayden can do well and encourage him to keep examples/portfolio and a journal of what he has accomplished. It will help in job preparation.

 

Have him keep posting his work, too. I'm looking forward to his screenshots.

Thank you Fountain , Hayden keeps all his art work and computer programs . He is most interested in video game design and I think he would be good at it someday when he is old enough to pursue it farther . You know he recently joined zootek , under the name " seaotter " . He is so excited to be a member . I am sure he will be posting more of his designs soon .

Both of you are lucky to have the other in their lives!!!

 

 

Are there any recommended books or articles on Aspergers...I have worked with a few adults with autism...would like to find out more on this type of autism???

Any suggestions would be appreciated!...

Caddie , There is an excellent site called Autism Speaks . also, If you will go to Google and type in Asperger Syndrome , you will get a wealth of informative articles . Asperger affects everyone differently . Rarely does a child have the same characteristics as another . My grandson has ocd , adhd , and sensory perception disorder . He has no short term memory but can tell you things that happened when he was 2 years old . He is very nervous , edgy and emotionally charged . He is also very opinionated ( lol ) which does cause us to lock horns occasionally . He is a fascinating young man and a joy to have in my life . Thank you for your positive comments .

Thanks for the info...I appreciate it!

Here are some others:

 

A couple books:

All Cats Have Asperger Syndrome

All Dogs Have ADHD

both by Kathy Hoopman and enjoyed by parents and educators

About 20 min.

I'd start with this one.

 

Above is "An Evening with Temple Grandin" where she addresses a British organization of the National Autistic Society. Part One is a about 1-1/2 hr and Two is about 45min.
