Special Needs

I have an autistic kid on my FLL team and I'm not really sure what to do with him. The kids don't really like to work with him because he doesn't listen very well and he has a stuttering kind of thing, which makes it really hard for the kids to want to listen to him.

I was thinking of coming up with a project just for him, but that would isolate him from the rest of the team and I don't really want that.

I want to keep him involved I just don't know how. If anyone has any experience with these sorts of dilemmas your help would be greatly appreciated.
