Calling all techie guys-ideas for gifted severe autistic!

If he has the patience:

Basically a guide on how to make a website using programming language. I managed to start when I was 13 so I imagine he should be OK.

Start off with the basic HTML. So make a page with headings and stuff.

(you can see down the left handside the navigation, more complicated things as it goes down)

As he is 11 he might want to do something that he likes, so his favourite animal, sport (if he plays) or something simple like that.

I second the suggestion of him learning C#. It's reasonably easy to understand and there are millions of articles on the internet and tutorials of things he can do. It's a good introductory programming language too, he can go onto more specialised languages later.

Autistic people make fantastic software testers and programmers. I'd be looking to aim him at this route for a career.

May be too basic but still a good qualification to have is the European Computer Driving Liscence which has various exams such as how to use word, excel, powerpoint etcetera.
