I've mentioned my buddy Russel before. He's 7 years old and autistic, and having a hard time adjusting to the changes happening in his life.
He likes my wife and I a lot. I think it's because we treat him like a person, rather than a problem to be solved, but it might just be because he can tell we're both wired differently too?
Anyway, recently he has become obsessed with toymaking (go figure) and has requested a 3D printer with which to make toys.
