You need to read up on ASperger's. This is not just a simple case of boredom. He needs counseling and is probably qualified to receive "special needs" help. \n\nWhat does the counselor at his school say?

First, I'd like to challenge the notion of a "dramatic increase" of autism.\n\nDifferent Definition, different diagnosis rate:  20 years ago, when you said "autism" you were refering to the full-blown or "strict" autism. (Rocking, head banging, little or no speach) The rate of "strict autism" hasn't changed nearly as much as the sensational stats you hear about. Now we know about a mild form of autism called Asperger's. Not only do we have a lot of kids diagnosed as Asperger's (classified under autism) but many adults are being diagnosed.  Many people suspect Bill Gates is autistic.  Some suspect Thomas Jefferson & Albert Einstein were both Asperger's.\n\nAs for vaccinations, they USED TO contain a mercury type preservative called thimerosal. They stopped putting thimerosal in children's vaccines around the year 2000. The last lots of vaccines which contain thimerosal as a preservative expired by early 2003. \n\nCAUSES:\nThere is a significant genetic factor in autism. This is evident in twin studies. If one identical twin is autistic, the second one has an 80% chance of being on the autistic spectrum. If the child isn't autistic, she is likely to have some traits, just not enough to be classified autistic. Yet with faternal twins, if one twin is autistic, the 2nd twin is no more likely to be autistic than a sibling born 10 years later! (4%)\n\nThey believe it isn't just one gene involved. It seems to be several genes that "collide" in one person to make then vunerable to autism.\n\nIt's not 100% genetic. If it was, then if one identical twin is autistic, the second one would ALWAYS be autistic.

There are two great tools I've discovered. If only I had known about these when I was in school...\n\n1) MindMapping by Tony Buzon\n\n2) PhotoReading by Paul Scheele\n\nI don't know what I'd do with that pile of computer books that seems to continuously grow as technology changes, if I didn't have these techniques at my disposal.

I think Dr. Stephen Strange could help you with that. You should look him up.\n:)

The DaVinci code. I saw a photo of him reading it at a cafe.

Thomas "Blind Tom" Wiggins (May 25, 1849–June 13, 1908) was an African American autistic savant and musical prodigy on the piano.\n\nBorn blind, the first historical record of Thomas Wiggins is from 1850 when his slave mother, Charity Wiggins, was sold to general (or colonel) and lawyer James N. Bethune alongside with her blind child. The new owner gave the boy the name Thomas Greene Bethune or Thomas Wiggins Bethune (according to different sources).\n\nBecause he could not work, Blind Tom wandered around the Bethune plantation and became interested in the music played by Bethune's daughters. He is recorded to have played tunes he had heard at the age of four, before he had learned to speak. At the age of five, he composed a tune, The Rain Storm. Bethune hired professional musicians to play for the boy, and Tom could perfectly reproduce the music he had heard. Although Tom's vocabulary was only about 100 words, eventually he learned perhaps 7,000 pieces of music, mainly from classical composers.\n\nIn 1857, Blind Tom made his first concert in Columbus, Georgia. Newspaper reviews were favorable, so General Bethune took Tom with him on tour. Tom referred to himself in the third person (e.g., "Tom is pleased to meet you"). In 1860, Blind Tom played in the White House before President James Buchanan. Local musicians wanted to check if his act was mere trickery and made him repeat two brand-new compositions. He did so perfectly. The "challenge" later became a regular part of his performance.\n\nTom also played his own compositions on occasion. One of the regulars at his concerts was Mark Twain. In 1866, at the age of 16, Tom went on a world tour.\n\nAfter the death of General Bethune, the care of Tom was transferred to Bethune's son John. After John died in 1883, Tom retired but had a series of concerts in New York City in 1904 before going back into retirement.\n\nBlind Tom died in 1908 in Hoboken, New Jersey and was buried in the Cemetery of the Evergreens

Very detailed site available at source below.\nHe asks not to steal his page, so I'll just point you to the source link below.\n\nNOTE: His english is a little confusing, but his directions and requirements seem to be valid.  Good Luck!!

Once there was a boy who was assigned a homework assignment of such great Amplitude he decided to cheat! So he rode on the crest of a sound wave to yahoo answers where he asked someone to do his homework for them. But hid Diffracted brain caused this little boy to be so retarded he wanted to cheat, despite everyone telling  him not to. Then he looked on the electomagnetic spectrum and realized he was retarded.\n"Uhh... I like Hertz." said the newly-enlightened retard. Then a huge INCIDENT WAVE came and made him even more retarded. He would never be normal again. As he drooled, empty thoughts sounded in resonance throughout his empty head. His photon-sized brain sure was workin, crankin out 14 thoughts an hour! Then he saw he looked retarded in his reflection, but shrugged it off as he was too retarded to comprehend it. The refraction of light burned his eyes out of their sockets. Then a giant TRANSVERSE WAVE came and made him still more retarded. Boobs. If this kid doesn't read this and turns it in I'll laugh. Then, the trough of the wave hit him square in the nose. "Durr", said the retard, "I'm retarded." Then the vibration of his vibrator in his rectal opening caused him to scream, with such short wavelength he broke car windows. But then old McDonald came. The interference was just too much, and his node sized brain caused him to burst out in a hissyfit. He was too retarded to be constructive about it. But then an antinode came and eliminated his brain, making him literally brain dead. Then he decided he couldnt spell the following words:\n\nWave pulse\nFrequency\nStationary wave\nLongitudinal wave\nTimbre\nWave

The "rain man," in the film with the same name, was based on an autistic savant named Kim Peek who could memorize an entire book in about an hour and could perform elaborate mathematical calculations in his head.\n\nThe two hemispheres of his brain are not connected to each other, the way they are with most people, and his cerebellum is deformed. I don't think anyone really knows why this allows him to do math, or memorize things, so well.

I have never heard of anyone who read it all at once, not even speed readers.  Got to take some kind of break before finishing, need sleep too.\n\nEven doing it in one week might produce amblyopia exanopsia.\n\nSaw that in a C. Shultz cartoon, where eyes are popping out.
