I'm looking for birthday gift ideas for a very special 12 year old boy. He is mentally challenged, but is very bright. I know that he understands and can do plenty of things, but he just has a hard time with communication. He can play computer games and understands everything you're asking him to do.

Any ideas?



Answer
If you want to go with a toy, just cruise the toy isle at any store and pick out what's cool. Kids are kids when it comes to toys, learning disabilities or not :-)

If you are wanting to build on his computer gaming, you could go with Roller Coaster Tycoon. You have to build your own amusement park and roller coasters. Way cool and it exercises learning and critical thinking. Do not fret, it is not too difficult.

If you are looking to facilitate communication, then get a board game. This will require some interaction and speaking on his part but in a group setting with limited stress. The improved Battleship is all computer like with sounds. Cool.

If you are looking to introduce a potential hobby, pick up a model train set. All boys love model trains and the sets are relatively priced at a hobby shop. This could be something that grows with him as new gifts can incorporate more track, figures and buildings, etc.

Remember that Christmas is around the corner so pick up something for that while you are shopping for the birthday so you will not be left in a lurch with bare toy shelves. Good luck and enjoy.

How would you feel if you were a kid who opened a birthday card and found an Obama gift acknowledgment?

Q. The creepy new Obama fundraiser demands that you send birthday gifts to him. You're a 10 year old kid looking for that $5 dollar bill in your birthday card, instead you get a card saying your leftist mommy and daddy gave your gift to Dear Leader.


Answer
Really? I hadn't heard about the birthday one. Do you have a link? I have viewed the online banners requesting that you send Mother's Day wishes to Michelle, as well as the ubiquitous ones asking you to "roll over" the ad (double meaning in that, as rolling over is a sign of submission) and "tell Barack you're in". They're also sending out requests for donations with the whole 0buma family together in a Christmas-card like pose, asking you to send your donations to Michelle. It also includes a letter, allegedly from Michelle, with all the campaign beats and messages. Hatred of the rich who don't pay their "fair share" is the main message.

This is too creepy. A president, or any elected official, is not your friend. I'm hopeful that people are not too gullible to be unable to look past these obvious ploys of referring to themselves as "Barack and Michelle", among other things. It's almost like they're taking a page out of North Korea and other communist holes which they admire and hope to emulate.
