Help.

I am frustrated. I have a son who is 14 who has aspergers/autism. He’s a wonderful kiddo. He’s high functioning but still in special Ed. He’s a big kiddo. My problem is he’s a tangible learner. Loves to pound things, unscrew things and take things apart. (hasnt figured out yet how to put them back together.) His grandpa is a contractor who loves him but wont take the time to spend with him playing and teaching him in his shop. I don’t know what to teach him. His other grandpa doesn’t live here but is a farmer and knows tons about mechanics which my son also loves. However, even when he comes up he is very short with my son and impatient. So is the first grandpa. My son needs someone who will take some time and interest in him but knows what he’s doing. What do I do? Breaks my heart
