[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 718999, member: 1550"] Most kids who eat a lot dont have Prader Willi. My son was tested for it. Prader Willi kids also tend to be slow learners. I covered everything with my son. Autistic kids do tend to overeat and because they dont have good imaginations (another symptom) they like video games and television. That way they are entertained by the game or television show[SIZE=16px]. The lack of imagination makes them fiddle with things, toss balls, often break things if nothing is entertaining them. At 24 my son still loves videogames and movies although he can stop doing both if he has to and no meltdowns or even arguing. At six, yes, he would have raged, but that was whenever we tried to get him to stop one activity to do another. It was not exclusive to videogames and transitioning is also hard for our autistic kids. [/SIZE] As for school, kids are often taught a lot on computers now. I doubt it will change. Times have changed. Times dont usually go back to the past. I dont know that he can do all classes without a computer. If he does, he will be the different kid...and they already now they are different. Wishing you luck. You will figure this out. [/QUOTE]
