Here is my Autistic son bowling a strike and cheering for himself. The Wii has helped him with social skills, coordination, and more.

  • Thank you for sharing! My 7 year old is on the spectrum, too, so I can relate... We just got the Wii for my boy - and I wished we had done it earlier. Clearly, besides of physical advantages of not being a sedentary game, it also has all elements of reinforcement (yeahs and claping, and cute sounds) which are therapeutic. Good luck, and keep on chugging!

  • Oh wow that is so cute

  • It begins...

  • I like how you point out the player's autism as if he somehow overcame all odds and spat in the face of his disability.

  • nice one! better than me!
