The only sort of shipping packaging I used to like was the polystyrene. Grate it together and it looked like snow. I didn't like that it stuck to me though.

I dunno, it was just what everyone did as a kid, like blowing bubbles with washing up liquid. It was just a "done thing". Or walking on low/short walls. Or getting a long stick and dragging it along a fence, making a noise.

Haha, I don't like beans, so I don't know why I say cool beans. People seem to say "fair enough" and I say "cool beans" or "awesome sauce".

Don't like the texture of tinned beans though, so gritty, bleurgh! The sauce is nice though.

I have heard of kids who eat foam. I have a friend whose nephew does it. They live in Africa so their mattresses are foam. They have to buy two for him, one that he sleeps on and the other one that eats. He actually eats them not just chewing. They have done everything to try to stop him and to find out why but nothing has worked. But since it does not seem to appear to affect his health they stopped trying to fight him and just buy an extra mattress.

I don't chew on foam because I don't like the texture, but I do like chewing some forms of plastic, like certain pencil grips and this sensory toy that I have: http://www.amazon.com/Abilitations-Chew ... =chew+tube.

Thanks. I wasn't sure whether to spend the money on it at first or not, but I'm glad I did. I really like it.

That was a very good decision. It's amazing how the simple toys really make us feel good. One of the perks of being Aspie. It doesn't take much to make us enjoy a toy, a nice pleasing texture and we're good! :D
