The Tillberg Family
Hi everyone! My name is Eric and my spouse Caitlin and I have two kids, Felix (6yo boy) and Claudia (2yo girl). Felix and I came to the board game afternoon a week or so ago at Gamers Geekery. We had such a great time--thanks for being such a welcoming community! Felix is 2e (PG and autistic) and has a pretty broad range of interests: piano/music, cat's cradle, math (doing Beast Academy), puzzles, coding, board games, and silly jokes. He's at public school so far, entering first grade in a few weeks (but we have our eye on homeschooling sometime in the future).
We're looking for kids to have playdates with. We're located in South Durham but can drive anywhere in the Triangle. Also, do any families here have musically-inclined kids? I think it would be so fun if Felix could share his love of music with peers.
Thanks!
Hi Eric! We are in South Durham in the Woodlake community! My son, Indra, is 7. His interests are mainly engineering, robotics, coding, building kits, and he's been deep diving into magic recently (as in magic tricks, not the role playing card game). His only musical interest so far is beat boxing, lol. I can't speak to Durham Public Schools and how they handle gifted kids, but I can speak to homeschooling as that is all we've done with my son so far. I do know that if you have an autism diagnosis for your son, you would be qualified to receive money from the Disabilities Grant Program in NC if you can get an IEP from his school, even if you decide to homeschool!
