Fantastic stuff, great story, our three boys have all been diagnosed with autism also and love playing pinball, one of my 6 year old twins absolutely kicked my butt on WSC94 a couple of months back 
This country is so great when it comes to helping kids with issues, I'm still amazed at how the system kicked in and the level of help that was provided. Nick will lead a full normal life because he was taught how to deal with his autism. I'm quite sure I would be diagnosed with the same thing now, but I was always just told I was super shy. It took me years you learn how to 'learn to be more social' and I still battle to meet new people. But like Nick once I get to know them its all great.
