[QUOTE="Dougmeister, post: 25253621, member: 56842"]Hey folks! Anyone have any experience with coin collecting as a possible hobby for a young man with autism? *If* it interests him (major factor, IIRC), it 'strikes' me (did you see what I did there?) that the meticulous attention to detail, categorization, organization, etc., *might* be a very good way to channel some of his creative energy. Also might give parents & siblings a different way to interact with him. Anyone have any thoughts, experiences, resources, or suggestions? Please feel free to reach out here or via PM. My initial thought was "start small", like collection U.S. cents in year folders... Or for a bit more expense, state quarters...[/QUOTE]
