Could you give me a price range?
An iOS or Android tablet seems like a good idea.

Good afternoon Everyone:

I am usually either commenting on something here or I'm usually writing
offlist to give someone advice.  I'm in a funny position now...  This time,
I'm the one looking for an answer to a question...  Hmmm!!

Earlier in the week, someone was asking me about Christmas gifts for
Virginia and David.  As I thought about this, I suddenly discovered that
it's actually becoming harder to find something for David. Sure, every kid
needs at least one clothing item.  However, David is now getting past the
traditional toys for much younger children; toys that make noise, music, and
talk to you.  They're all fore much younger children. 
I am now looking for something that will interest David; something he can
learn from; something that will provide him with entertainment/recreation as
well as something he can learn from We also want whatever this is to be
portable--something he can bring places with him in a book bag in the van,
and wherever he goes, where we might stay overnight, or on vacation,
perhaps.  I've been thinking about some sort of radio, CD player, "Walkman."
Do they even make those anymore?  
Somebody suggested a CD player.  I'm actually leaning toward an Ipod, Ipad
or something that I can fill up with music and something that has voice-over
in order to help him with his communication?  Pretty expensive, however.

I've been on all the Wevbsites for "Autistic Kids;" toys, and all that jhaz,
only to find that all the things they have, sell, or whatever, are for the
"sighted" Autistic child, (as if Blind Autistic Children don't exist???
They don't have a clue about our kids.

Anyone have other suggestions???

Bernie
