one of The Kid's therapists said that lots of his kids on the spectrum really like MTG. How would one get a kid started on that??

Well, a really good step one would be to find a local store he could play if he's up for that. The most popular format involves games on Friday nights but most gaming shops host weekend events as well. If there's a place near you that isn't run by a total shithead they're generally very, very helpful and will help get a deck built so he can join in and participate. A lot of times there are groups of casual players that will meet during the week or on the weekend to play a few games and drink mountain dew and be socially awkward together.

Past that, the company that manufactures MTG has started putting out "Duel decks" which are two packs of pre constructed decks you can use to learn with. They generally have some pretty good cards and easy to understand themes. The decks include the rules and some general strategy tips for the decks.

If he takes to it, lemme know. I'm always happy to blab about my nerdery of choice.

MTG is something I think that my son and his best friend would like but they are only 9 so I thought that I should wait a couple more years to try to introduce it.

Starbucks said it removed "symbols of the season" used in the past, which have included reindeer and ornaments, in favor of a simple, two-toned red cup.
When the cups rolled out in late October, Starbucks (SBUX) vice president Jeffrey Fields said the company "wanted to usher in the holidays with a purity of design that welcomes all of our stories."
Joshua Feuerstein, a former pastor who calls himself a "social media personality," took exception.
He posted a video to Facebook on November 5 that went viral. Feuerstein criticizes Starbucks for removing "Christmas from their cups because they hate Jesus."

Feuerstein encouraged customers to say "Merry Christmas" instead of their names in order to "trick" baristas into writing the phrase on the cup. He said to use "#MerryChristmasStarbucks" to post photos online.
