Autistic people love the internet. It allows us to socialize at our pace and if people get on our nerves we can just exit the social circle at will without being followed.
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!)
