Father-Son Bonding for Nerds

posted in Autistic Life, Computers |

The guys working on “Arthur” together at the computer a few days ago.

Tonight Star Wars (#4) was on tv, and unlike the past, where Zane was only mildly interested in it, today he ran into the room and jumped up and down, flapping and giggling with glee. He had completed the entire Star Wars Lego game on Nintendo within the last week or two, so he knows the 4-5-6 stories (New Hope, Empire, and Return of the Jedi) for the most part now. (The Lego version is much sanitized and pretty funny for those of you not familiar with it). After the credits rolled (because he must watch all the credits, but at least he doesn’t want to watch only the credits any more) he asked for “Hoth”. (that ice planed in Empire Strikes Back for the non-geeks). Zach went and dug out our copy and put it in for Zane.

Zach told me later that he actually got a little teary eyed seeing him so excited about it. Gotta love nerds.
