msbelle, are there any books he has liked? Or, if not, any particular subjects/genres you think would appeal to him? Fiction or nonfiction?
Sweet lumpy minion, you're the only one that understands. Probably 'cause I haven't sucked the brain out of you yet.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

He has liked some fantasy stuff mostly. I am offering up stuff like Artemis that I read aloud to him when he was younger so it will familiar.
Matt, that is great. We might actually already have that.
I have mocked up a new chore sheet for the summer and put together sample days of a schedule for him. I tried to balance get up and move things with sit down things. Left him some room for choices (what movie, what book, what subjects on Khan Academy). Now do I give it to him now for thoughts/opinions/input or do I wait to show it to him at therapy next week. He has no idea that summer will run on a pattern of do your stuff in order to get wifi access. No stuff done, no games.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Since he like comics, what about Maus? Pure history and it's brilliantly done.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
or how about John Lewis's book on civil rights? I'm blanking on the title ....

For a non-story-based approach, "The Cartoon Guide to Ancient/World History" is great, as is "Cartoon Guide to U.S. History." I learned so much about Middle East history that way. They're very good about showing warts and all. There are also several Cartoon Guides to various science and math topics. "The Cartoon Guide to Algebra" is giving me a great refresher.
