Christmas Presents for Children with Autism...

Mmmm... this is always a challenge. Nathan is getting easier to buy for. We have seen such an improvement in him it is astonishing. He still over-focuses, hand-flaps and has speech problems but he's interacting with others, playing, starting conversations, etc. It's fantastic!

Nathan is getting cars, a "light saber" that lights up and Play-Doh.

Peter as always is so much more difficult to buy for--he wanted books this year since he is reading but I'm not sure he will enjoy them as much as I would hope he would. I did find a choral spinning top at a Tuesday Morning store. It's big, about eight inches across and as you spin it (ah, spinning--what a wonderful thing for an autistic child!) it "hums" in chords. It's great and I think he will love it. They received other things as well but we'll see what happens tomorrow.

I'll let you all know what the hits were.

Hi Laura. Christmas was tough for us, as we didn't feel Nolan got anything out of it. But a commenter let us know that Nolan got out of it what he was going to get out of it. Nothing more, nothing less. --- http://thesamechild.blogspot.com/2009/12/some-december-tidbits-from-same-child.html

The children I have met are very interested by the sensation, and the look as well. I a enclosing a link for you to look at some. :)http://www.fatbraintoys.com/toy_companies/edushape/sensory_ball_set_of_4.cfm

I know how it is to be around a child with autism (but also how rewarding it can be as well), and how it can't be easy sometimes. I have a brother with autism, and I'm working on my major as a special education teacher as well for young children. I wish you and your little ones the best of luck. P.S. You cna check out my blog if you want, it has a great posting of all of the famous people in the past who had autism. It's an interesting read. :)

So I did it -- bought myself a [url=http://www.ordio.com.au/products/Fatman-iTube-452-with-ValveDock.html]Fatman iTube Dock[/url] and I've got to say I am extremely pleased. I actually listened to one at a friend's house a few months back and just couldn't get that sound out of my head because it impressed the heck out of me. I searched online everywhere for a great deal and finally found it at [url=http://www.ordio.com.au]Ordio[/url] in Westfield Bondi Junction. I rang them first and asked a bunch of questions and everything was answered to my satisfaction so I went ahead and bought it. Dispatch was fast. Everything was as it should be. I'm pretty darn happy and I'm playing it right now. Not sure if they ship outside of Oz but you won't be sorry if they do.

Really happy...
