We have been looking for a hobby for Chaz. Something he would really be into that has nothing to do with video games. Well, my husband plays a sort of "board game" with his friends once a week. It's called Hero Clix. You collect these little guys (I'm telling this in a girlie sort of view) and they each have points. You use a map on the table and place your guys. It's basically like the Marvel Comic characters. It's really fun.
One day my husband was out buying some new ones (seriously cheap for just one or two) and my sons asked if they could use their chore money to buy a couple of them for themselves. We said, "sure!" Chaz loves, loves sitting down and playing with his brother or even just by himself. He's so much more motivated to do his chores now knowing that he's earning money for more of these guys.
I love hobbies but the only one my son was into was video games, and as you can see by previous posts. it has a bad effect on him. Getting into a hobby like this helps him to have something to look forward to, occupy, learn, and socialize with his brother or friends that also love to play. I'm excited about this one. Well, so is Chaz!
My life in the Aspergers lane. Chaz, my 10 year old was diagnosed with Aspergers when he was 5 years old. It explained a lot but I have so much more to learn to help my son. Seeking answers and documenting my journey here. Be the sunshine for your child when they come home with dark clouds hanging over them. Be the rainbow that brings hope by speaking up for them. "Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning." Psalm 30:5
*Encouragement is the best medicine to give someone. If I were to pick any gift to have in helping others, that would be the one*

Thank you for posting this. My son, Landon, also loves his video games but also loves little figures. He use to be very into Thomas trains but right now it's Ben 10 characters. I am going to look into these...I think he would love them!! Glad I found your blog :-).
