Post #107 - L.I.F.E. G.O.E.S. O.N.

It certainly does. I quite like the fact that I've finally made the executive decision to eschew groups in future, well, apart from a bi-monthly meeting of autistic adults, which I'll attend for the first time this coming Wednesday. Hopefully that will prove interesting.

In other (geek) news, I've just bought myself and Master Logic some of the Uniqlo Nintendo t-shirt collection (as shown below)

They are absolutely brilliant - so vibrant and best of all, geektastic.

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/
