He seems to like to give me work to do when I can't get on and play. It makes me a little nervous to put him in the shifter kart I just bought for us. He is well behaved in rental karts, but they are nowhere near as fast as the one I just bought.

Don't let him play with your account. Just make a secondary account on your PS4 and make him play with that...he'll grind the money for himself, and he'll suffer like we all do at the daily workout gift, when he'll see the spinner land right next to the car he wanted among the four :lol:

No joke, it feels like the game reads your mind and knows you're thinking "man I really want that R18, but I'm ok if it doesn't land on the N200 Atenza" and I end up getting my 4th Mazda. :(

You should give him his own account. If he is that wreckless, he may give you a bad name. People remember wreckless users.
 
I managed to bring it back a little last night. Thankfully it was Bathurst which is always a clean drive for me. Made him is own account as well. Probably going to grind some credits for him so he can buy a few of the cars that he likes a lot.

How old is he? Circuit experience would teach him racing lines and ultimately net him easy cash

He is 14 and normally he would be the prime age to rip us old farts a new one on track. But he also has high functioning autism which impacts his ability to control anger (only with video games luckily) and his focus is occasionally on something else on screen that catches his eye.

When we go karting he is laser focused and reasonably fast for someone who has been karting for only one year. We are working on his defending lines right now and when to defend or let pass and he's picking it up better than most people. The change in venue though to the house and a video game messes with his mindset. I even have him wearing karting gloves and shoes when he sits in the sim rig. I think it's the sense of motion that we will need to try and simulate for him to pick the game up as a tool.

Then again, he may just be an asshole teenaged gamer troll when he gets on GTSport.

I have never seen such a blunt parent :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hopefully this helps; I have ADHD and while the disorder isn't on the autism spectrum, I do have a hard time keeping my focus on the track for a long amount of time. I offset this by shifting my focus to other important things (radar, gap, lap time). If I have a big gap from second and the race is getting a bit boring, fiddling around with the MFD on the straights help me keep at least my attention to the game. Maybe teaching him that would help a bit keep his focus on the screen?
