My 14yo aspie has had a few very short term e-pals, but he's always looking for

more. I've set up a email account for him, I know his pass word, and he

understands that I will be monitoring his incoming and outgoing messages, only

for his own safety. Then also, when he gets himself grounded from the computer,

I can hop on and let the pals that have emailed him know that he won't be on for

a week or whatever. Sometimes it's hillarious what these kids say. One aspie

pal, who's supposed to be 8, says his favorite TV shows were something on " adult

swim " ....it's very hard for me to imagine ANY parent, no matter how disinvolved

in their children's lives they may be wouldn't notice & put an end to that! Or

another one that got me chuckling... " Pokemon is sooo stupid and lame...only

losers like it...my favorite pokemon is Ekans "

He likes chatting with kids of all ages, and gender doesn't seem to matter to

him either. His name is & his email is megaman_ak@....

Hugs & Peace,

lord of the rings and japanese anime... Thanks!!

( ) Anyone interested in setting up internet " pen

pals " for our kids....

Anyone here interested in setting up pen pals for our kiddos? Maybe a one on

one would be a better start for some of them. We could help set the dialog at

first by having a " questionaire " for the kids to fill out to " meet " their pen

pal, maybe some topics of interest afterwards and then let them go with it. I

thought this would be particularly useful during the " down time " of summer

months. What do you think?

I would love to do this too!!! Can you let me know.. All the details when

you set it up! Chase is 10 and I am in Canada.

I have a my space..

Do have a chat room? Where we can exchange this information?

When I did it in my msn group it was loads of fun.. We even did seed

exchanges so the kids could grow their own veggies.. And actually EAT them

too ( method to our madness... LOL)
