it's cool, it doesn't cost anything to register at etsy and put people on your favorites list so you can eyeball their shops every now and again. 
meanwhile, i'll see if i can come up with a pattern, and i might need testers.  |

| well, i double stitch everything, and they are standing up to the rough handling and shenanigans of my 5yo quite well. i don't have a scale yet, so i can't measure them exactly, but they provide a good amount of heft in your hand. do you think it would be better if I put the exact weight of each one... |

| is there a difference when NT children do this vs. when autistic kids? because it seem to me that NT children do this, and are actually interested in your answer. whereas, my kid when he does this, he's always in a bored mindless "zoning out" frame of mind, like when we are sitting in the car waitin... |

i'm still new to all of this, but i think i can safely say that her hair texture, and whether or not it's "difficult to manage" has nothing to do with whether she has asperger's or not.  |

He can recite Iron man word for word, he even perfectly mimics the gear-sounds in iron man's suit when he walks. people not familiar with iron man often don't know what he's doing, and it's gotten him i... |
