This is exactly what dh and I have been afraid of - it is hard enough right now to get ds8's attention, we have been adamant about no DS/gameboy. THEN the psych who recently tested him, said it might help with some of his social issues. We were surprised. He said they're very attractive to other kids and a conversation piece. We really don't know what to think. Whenever I see a cluster of kids around one kid with a game I wonder, 'is that good?'. Any thoughts on the social aspect? Dr. also said for a kid like ds less encouragement to be unique might be better...

So far ds has not gone overboard with games, tv a bit, but generally he's just as interested in a lego or craft project or a book.
