Do you have any tips on how you got your son interested in the computer? Is your son closer on the specturm to Asperger's than autism? My 4 year old son is on the spectrum too and I have been trying to get him intersted in the PC, with varying success. My two year old, who is Neurotypical, loves TuxPaint (with a touchscreen). The 4 year old is getting interested, but he doesn't seem like he's doing it purposefully, but rather as a perseveration (he tries to control the TV too by touching the screen). His primary deficit is in expressive communication, so I have been thinking about getting something like VoiceBuddy (http://edimensional.com/index.php?cPath=23), so he has to speak to play games. However, until he takes more of an interest in the PC, in general, I think it would be a waste of money. Please PM me, as I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.
