Post #45 - Me, My Aspie Son and The Nintendo Wii U

Now, there's a problem, well insofar as my son loves to play on the Wii/WiiU, but he really cannot bear to lose.  Usually a defeat concludes in him stamping on the hall floor like a latter-day Rumpelstiltskin - I do worry about him clumping through the Homebase laminate.  He sees a speech therapist/SALT every other month and she's working on his attitude to defeat, but he still plays up.  For example, I've just purchased a new WiiU game featuring Mario, plus his brother Luigi and the other residents of the Mushroom Kingdom(!) but I made the mistake of changing the disc to Nintendoland and beating him at the Mario Chase - it was the first time as he's succeeded every time to date.  Cue: rage, screaming, shouting - the lot.  He calmed down after his father spoke to him for a bit.

To lighten the mood, here's the genius of Jim'll Paint It's Mario and Luigi on Rogue Traders.  It's fab.  Do check out more of his work (plus his merchandise) via http://jimllpaintit.tumblr.com/
