Autism is classified as a neurodevelopmental disorder which manifests itself in markedly abnormal social interaction, communication ability, patterns of interests, and patterns of behavior. Although the specific etiology of autism is unknown, many researchers suspect that autism results from genetically mediated vulnerabilities to environmental triggers.

I just wanted to let you know that I found a really good toy for Christmas. I know how hard it is to find things that our kids will like and I found one. Its the sand art. It is not regular sand though, it is kinda like playdoe with sand in it. Really good for sensory input. Anyway, just wanted to share. I think its a keeper. Hugs Denise

I saw that at target too!!!!!
It is pretty neat but for the life of me I can't remember who makes it. Sam is very much into reading scooby doo books this year, he can't read all the words yet but he mainly likes to look at the pictures. His aide and he are writing and illustrating Sam's very own scooby doo book. as long as he is expressing an interest in something, I'm all for it and if it gets him involved in reading, i[m all for that too. but I was thinking of the sand art thing too.
