I suspect all parents have concerns about the impact of electronic games on their children. Pokemon Go is sweeping the world and some parents say it is getting their Aspergers and Autistic children outside, engaging with the real world. This article provides a good overview, and spells out the dangers and costs. Please share.

1 years agoMindy JamesI go play with my kids. We are out at the park a lot more then we were before. My kids love when I play with them and it makes for lots of family bonding. But also meeting people. There is an area where there are always people playing. I could see where it could be an issue. But in our house it is a win.

1 years ago · 3Kristen MarieI went to see this movie on a double-date, and it taught me a very important lesson: never be embarrassed to ask for a helping hand. I "suffered" from a learning disability, OCD & a speech impediment (12 years of therapy) growing up!! I LOVED the first movie, Finding Nemo which came out when I was 11!! :)

This is the "only regional autistic learning centre in Australia". It extends its reach by providing satellite support services in other rural towns in the region - and it is working. If you know of similar stories please let us know.
