I love playing Mario and Sonic at the Olympic games - At the events where u can make your character clap for audience participation my wee boy claps his hands too.
It actually brings tears to my eyes as Owen is Autistic so it is amazing to watch him. Its also the only time that Owen and Megan sit near each other without Owen biting or nipping his sister so its really nice to see them getting along."
