Guest guest Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 I find that for teenagers gift cards are always a great gift. They can choose what they want from their favorite store. )O( Marci " I have a feeling that somewhere inside of you, there's somebody nobody knows about.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 My son got both of those for his birthday last month and LOVES them! Also, most all of the kids in the Aspie Kids Only group that Lynn started have it and they really like to talk about it. From: Autism and Aspergers Treatment [mailto:Autism and Aspergers Treatment ] On Behalf Of Tracey Demmon, Audiologist Sent: Monday, November 14, 2005 4:13 PM Autism and Aspergers Treatment Subject: Re: Gifts etc.. My son is 10 and desperatly wants a nintendo ds so he can play nintendogs. It is one of the interactive games that the more that you play, the more that you can do. He loves animals, so with this he gets to train them, and in a way, interact with them. Tracey Re: Gifts etc.. I bought him both years ago and he never used them, we wound up selling them at a garage sale. Of, course they weren't the real expensive kinds, but were pretty decent. He has also received gift cards in the past for toys-R-us and when I would take him, we would be in there for an hour and would leave empty handed cause he is just too particular. I took him back a week later and he saw a flat screen TV there in the electronics department for 135.00, and he wanted that, so that's what he got. It just seems, he gets bored with things too fast. If we buy him a video game or DVD movie he gets bored with them and wants to get rid of it shortly thereafter. That's why I almost hate to get him video games, especially at the price they are. Thanks guys for your advice. I will let you all know what I decide to buy him. TIFFANY BISHOP <tharlan1@...> wrote: How about a microscope,telescope?

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 We do have EB games and Gamestop out here, where you can sell and buy used games. I have gotten upset with my son a few times though for selling 35.00 dollar games there for a couple dollars in almost new condition. But you are right, you can get them alot cheaper. I have boughten both my son's games in there in the past. Sometimes they don't always have what your looking for. I tried last christmas to get him Jurassic Park Operation Genesis there, and none of those stores carried it because it was so new. I actually think my husband wound up purchasing it online.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 I know, it KILLS me what you get for them compared to what you buy them for new.
