Lets go to the movies!

People always ask about Andrew's fine motor skills. I guess some autistic children have motor skill problems. Andrew is not one of them. Andrew is sooooo technically minded, it's scary.

First off, Andrew can run a VCR, without any problem. He runs it entirely without a remote control, from putting in movies to rewinding them to changing channels. But then, VCR's are, pardon the pun, child's play. Andrew has mastered the DVD player.

He knows which button turns it on, how to eject the disc holder, how to close it (indicentally he's also figured out that if he turns the power off and back on, the disc holder will close itself when it's turned back on. I didn't know that!). He can also play the DVD, and knows when each DVD gets to the menu screen that he needs to push the play button again to get it to continue on. Remember now, this is all without benefit of the remote control.
