well... he loves cartoons and some video games but that is common to a lot of 16 year olds today. He knows sign language. What do you get a 16 year old?

If you can manage it, share an event together. Take him to a comic book convnetion or an arcade and give him fifty bucks to blow on anything he wants, no matter how stupid it might seem to you. If he is handicapped, he probably desparately wants to do things "normal" people do. Help him spend a day doing things he can't on his own.

okay instead of thinking "oh I need a gift for a 16 year old mentaly chalenged person" think "I need a gift for a 16 year old guy" and then it will come to mind, good luck!

maybe you should get him the same gift you would give a normal 16 year old boy or should he be asking what should he get for a silly old man.....

The gift should be for his mental age not his chronological age; his mental age is the age that he's at now.
