Q. I love my little brother to death. He's an autistic 11 year old. I would do (almost) anything for him.
I've been dealing with this for about a year now. He's a computer addict. That may or may not have to do with the autism. He sits at a desk, playing computer games for about 9 hours a day. Ever since this started, he won't listen to me at all. For example, last night, it was... I'd say about midnight. I asked him to turn his TV down and he said no. I explained to him that it's keeping me awake and I have to be up early for band rehearsal. He told me to shut up and go away. It got to the point of me screaming at him and telling him to "fucking go to sleep" and unplugging his TV. I understand that this (probably?) has a lot to do with my yelling. How can I have get him to listen to and not disregard me?

A. Autistic people are not oriented towards language but instead may communicate in other ways such as with pictures or sign language. His brain is more inclined to respond to visual prompts. My answer may not however resolve the issue with your brother watching the tv loud. He may be open to negotiation with the tv if he wore headphones instead. Having a day/night timetable of on & off times for the tv could also be of assistance.
Where can I find a site that would help me Make a blue print for a computer desk I want to build?
Q. I want to make the computer desk of my nerdy dreams and I was wondering if there is any web site that can help me make it very very easily. My dad can draw them himself by hand but doesn't have the time and told me if I drew up the plans he would use ONE DAY to help me build it then I am on my own. Also, I can't draw at all. My stick people look horrid. Help me out people.
A. I don't think there is a website to do that. I wouldn't worry about drawing too much. You must first make your desk physically possible. I would look at where you want your tower and monitor and then what speaker set you need to fit in there. Then you can look at keyboard and mouse setting and possible game pad storage and then some place for the software boxes, DVD or otherwise.
I would start by putting a chair down and then place out all the items around it just the way I like. If it was me I would build it into a corner and then have a bean shape in which to place the chair. That way I can place the speakers to get maximum sound effect. Then it is easy to mount the speakers on brackets on the wall and fit corner shelves and other shelves to store boxes books etc.
Next I would try and figure out what shape the top must be. Then you can go further and join a few sheets of paper together and draw out the shape. Then you draw out the shapes you need to all the other components. I would get pipe and some threaded rods to hold up the sections. You get stainless steel and aluminium that will look really nice. You cut the pipe to the length that will give you the desired height and then drill holes in your top sections and the top. Then fit in the pipes sliding the threaded rods through and then use the decorative nuts on top to tighten it and make it look smart. In the same way you can make multiple tiers by using shorter pipes.
Try and make it simple without drawers so that you can actually build it.
I would fit the tower between my legs and put footrests on the sides of the base to put my feet on so that I can kick back on my chair and play on the game pad.
