Question of the Day!

But some people—such as my niece with Cerebral Palsy and Autism—absolutely love slime, noise putty and those weird little toys you squish and they feel like gel.

They contain sensory elements and not everyone with Autism uses sensory tables.

My cousin, Andrew, is moderately autistic and gravitates more to cars and video games.

My one nephew, Alex, went through a phase where he was obsessed with kinetic sand. Which is a form of sensory toy.

There's two phrases I've heard that come to mind. "Different strokes for different folks" and "if you've met one person with Autism, you've met one person with Autism."

Things are changing. The way we relate to persons with any disability has changed. The definition of sensory toy may need or maybe already has expanded.
