I thought it would be a cool thing to do a new video. We have done one or two in the past & people respond to them very well. It helped me a lot when we first started going through diagnosis to see other kids that were just like my son. So after we talked to him about it a bit he not only liked the idea but liked the idea of doing several. After hashing out some details on what to talk about. (Not to autism/aspergers heavy) he wanted to call it Around The World With Aspergers! I loved it! Below is our first video like this. A bit about what he thinks about having Asperger's; the good as well as the bad & a bit about one of his favorite subjects.....minecraft! Yeah, you other aspie parents feel my pain there right? yeah....minecraft but he loves it! There will be more to come with not only loads of talk about everything from Skylanders to Science but about autism related talk & maybe even go over some of the questions we get in our inbox from time to time. We hope you enjoy!
He is so adorable. He and my brother would get along so well. minecraft for days. <3 Good job J!
ReplyDeleteSoooooo cute....my Kaden is a starcraft2 kiddo.
ReplyDeleteThis video is great! It's like hearing my own son Colby speak. This is my first time to your site and it will not be my last. I always preview something before allowing Colby to watch it. I will show your video to him tonight and let him make a comment as well. He really likes Minecraft but he also really likes MoshiMonsters & Skylangers too!
ReplyDeleteMinecraft! I can totally relate. I just found your blog, and I'm enjoying it. Keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteI love the video.
ReplyDeleteI burst into tears of laughter, joy and recognition when you son said, "There's a mode where there's no sleep!" Oh my! Our 13 year old daughter (with Aspies) loves to play The Sims and she was playing it and I said, "It's 3:00 in the morning, why aren't your Sims sleeping?" She rolled her eyes, paused the game and said, "Mom, I have a lot of 'cheats.' This one is my favorite. You can set it up to wipe out their need to sleep, eat, go to the bathroom or socialize, but they're still happy. Then they have time for important stuff, like building stuff, playing video games, reading, furnishing the house and other things."
Thank you. I love your blog and your son is adorable.
