My mom works with autistic children, does alot of relief work. So i have a idea how hard it can be sometimes, and how sometimes the little things are really big for them

setting to peace... my 9 year old is borderline autistic spectrum, he too has a fasination with numbers, and loves watching me play ( although he best likes watching me raid/mass and counting up the damage lol ) JJ is luckily not noticably autistic to any degree, most people just see a kid that has trouble concentrating in class(except during maths and ICT), and difficulties fitting in sociably, and who happens to be scarily intelligent (a full year ahead of the rest of his class, which is a mix of his age group and the year above!)

Most people tend not to understand the difficulties involved, these kids are on an emotional rollercoaster, and we as parents, get dragged along for the ride.

Good luck with your mission

It started out that way with Andrew (Mosiah) as well he would watch ad my numbers and give me totals every turn. He is setting here at his desk sending out replys now. If you have not gotten one yet I'm sure you will. It takes a little time for each one. I'm asking him to reply to anyone that sent him a message. To my surprise he is not fighting me to much about doing it. I may or may not let him read a few of the post here on the forums with me later on today.

Hello Everyone,
I'm coming before the Community at this time to ask something of all the big major alliances and empires. My foster son Mosiah has been playing this game for around two years now. He is 15 and has Autism.

Hey mate, been a while.

I've known taddpole for a long time in this game and he's one of the most genuine people I know around here. Nice thing to see what you are doing for your foster Son.

I'm not sure if I've spoken with him before? The name Mosiah doesn't sound familiar, but i'm pretty sure i've spoken with your son when I used to play.

Anyway looks like the community is coming together to help out which is a rare thing these days.

Reading this almost made me think of logging in and passing over all my spare resources that i have laying around my account and even making him my only officer and letting my account sit there..... but well I haven't logged in for over 2 months and not sure if i'd want to tempt fate. :S

Would be interesting to know how many peace settings he has. i'm sure he's counting the number of messages he's getting.

Hey there Clarkey how have you been? I don't think you ever talked to Mosiah. I know you talked to my Bio son when we all were in the same alliance years ago.

[Unimatrix881]

yey i got a pm back
its wierd how much this has brightened up what has otherwise been a **Filtered** day for me. thanks.

So true. I just got a message back from the boy and I feel absolutely refreshed.

It looks like the community has really gotten him to open up

[Taddpole]

Would be interesting to know how many peace settings he has

his inbox now has 135 messages. All peace setting and messages from players wishing him well and offering help. He is one happy kid right now everyone. Does my heart good.

[RoKeT]

Lets not forget though guys, this topic isn't for resources as i know Mosiah would want to do it on his own lol Good old Mosiah Sandy you guys should come up here again

I wish it was that easy to say he was opening up, I'm setting here next to him with my laptop asking him to reply to the next message. I'm pushing him to do it. On the bright side he is doing it with out a lot of fuse. This is a huge step for him because he does not know any of you. Trust is something hard for him to come by.

You should come play golf with Jr and I on the 24 of May when I come up.

And yes everyone this is not about what he can get from players. Although he was very happy from the few gifts he got already. This is about him being able to play the game in a way it is fun for him, and helping him to understand not all people are bad.

[RoKeT]

I've never played Golf rofl, Though i might just have it off! rofl

[Rogue_Wolf]

[Clarkey]

Hey there Clarkey how have you been? I don't think you ever talked to Mosiah. I know you talked to my Bio son when we all were in the same alliance years ago.

Ah yes that's right, i knew I had spoken to a son of yours.

I'm doing well thanks. just popped in for a few posts, off again now.

Take care of yourself taddpole.

[VAGAB0ND]

Setting the guy to peace asap everyone should do i think : ) it is just a great deed, it is just a game, if you can favor even one person by doing smth then why not it is just a one button click eh?

cheers from Vaga and best wishes for the boy

Honestly, I don't think anybody should realistically come onto a game like this one and expect to receive special treatment; regardless of their RL circumstances. We all have problems of varying degrees. I have a lot of sympathy with what you're trying to do, but I wouldn't be too hard on anybody who doesn't comply with your request. Also bear in mind that a lot of people don't use the forums, and that some people, perhaps due to past experience, are often suspicious of requests of this nature.

I declared peace because I have some experience dealing with autistic people, who are often much maligned and misunderstood, and also because I'm just generally in a bit of a good mood at the moment. It's either the gin or the weather. Good luck with this thread, and good luck to you and your son in the game.

Exactly i have anxiety and OCD i dont ask for peace setting but in all honesty im not gonna be a prick so ill set him peace
