The internet is liberating in such a way that any disabled person finally can be equal to others based on intelligent choices.
And in MMORPG games this form of liberation continues.
Our 10 year old LOVES online gaming - also interacts with close friends from school better online than in 'real life' too.

He likes going out and doing stuff if it doesn't involve meeting lots of new people and usually if it involves nature or animals (e.g. loves the beach), but otherwise becomes bored and restless. If he knows something is planned in advance he can usually cope with it though.
You wouldn't know he's autistic (currently awaiting diagnosis) unless he's having a meltdown or become bored/uncomfortable and gone to sleep (sometimes on the floor!)

Hi all, I read with interest the above posts and it's a very difficult situation. I have an 8 year old daughter who is autistic, aspergers, and we don't hide her from the world. How ever we have also learnt the hard way that forcing her to go places when really she didn't want go would end up in a meltdown. I think when a child gets a certain age then their wishes having to be observed. We now ask her if she wants to go out or stay in and have a lazy day. After a short period of never going out she now goes more places than before. As I said though it's difficult and not every child can express their views so easily.
yes my son is noticeable difference from other children ,as another autistic person decribe it of their own autistic child to me happy flappy child and that is how i would decribe my son .
talking to a nurse that deals with autistic poeple and there familys said in her experience
a lot of family hide there children away from the world ,becauce rude, uneducated
people think they have the right to come up to you and verbal abuse them and their children ,
i have not had this experience yet, but we are very carefull of the place we do take him ,we avoid crowded place ,
but we do make sure than we do take him out to enjoy playing outside ,why should these alfull people stop these
lovely child injoying life playing outside like any other children.
For a lot of children and adults with autism, the autism is not at all obvious to anyone else. Is your son obviously autistic or does he have other, more obvious, difficulties?
For 56 years I lived in complete ignorance of the fact that I am autistic, it wasn't obvious to me or anyone else that I have this problem. My autism caused me to have a series of disagreements and disputes with work but nobody suggested that autism might be the root cause.
Also a lot of autistic people don't enjoy going out and meeting other people, it can be exhausting and fundamentally unpleasant to them. Their parents may very well not force them to go out as it can become exhausting and unpleasant for them as well.
