ive mentioned this before, but my 6 yr old son who has Asperger's Syndrome/Autism is addicted to video games big time, and every child i know who has Autism or Asperger's Syndrome is the same i cant say why but it deffinatly needs more research, but i dont see this addiction as a bad thing at all,

My son in fact is calmed down and more co-operative when he has been playing games, its something for him to focus on and draws his full attention which i tell you is no easy feat with autistic children, perhaps this is a benifit in helping austistic children?
