Hi I'm Tony

I'm the dad of Nic, my 13 y/o boy who has Aspergers. I'm looking forward to meeting more of you, talking about ways I can assist my son with challenges he faces, and how I can help facilitate him being happier with life.

I work for Wizards of the Coast and we make a game called Magic the Gathering. Over the years playing the game, I've worked and played with a lot of people with Aspergers but it's always been really tough to connect with my son and help him with what he needs.

Again, thanks for having me here, excited to see what this site brings.

Tony

Welcome. I'm not surprised that you've met many aspies who play magic the gathering. It seems like it attracts our kind.

Magic the Gathering has always been a community where everyone is accepted. It's the only place I've seen people who are from so many different circles get together and accept and enjoy a common thing.
