Hey folks.

My 10 year old son has Asperger's and has recently developed an interest in learning magic.
I have always had an interest, but never really got around to learning.
Now, in an effort to help my son, I have become more interested. He an I learn new tricks together, and really enjoy it.

Hi MelodyRich,
I taught a few students who had Asperger's and found that they were very focussed on the things they liked. Inspiring to hear that you are learning the art of magic together and I wish you well on your journey. Welcome to the Café.

Welcome MelodyRich,

I'm glad you are enjoying the Magic.

There are so many aspects to Magic that is ever interesting and a good lever into other ways of thinking.

While specific aspects of Magic may hold your Son's interest at first, it can be a conduit toward more social interaction.

Best of luck to you both. I'm sure the Café will be glad to help if we can.

Welcome Rich.
My son also has Aspergers as well. I wish he took an intreast in magic. As you know when they come across something they like they go into it full steam ahead.
All the best to you and your son, and of course, Welcome to the Café!

Beautiful! I remember visiting the magic shop with my dad when I was 2 years old. I definitely credit him for kindling this interest. I'm glad you're doing the same- Welcome!

Cheers,
