Today Andrew's interventionist brought shaving cream to play with. Sometimes children with sensory issues (common in kids with autism) will resist these kinds of activities, scratchy clothes that would ordinarily seem soft and non-distracting to you and I, getting dirt on their hands, swinging from playsets, all sorts of things. So they practice getting used to those things. It's why some children with autism are referred for occupational therapy.

He has since some to enjoy these kinds of activities, although he still gets a little irritated by the shaving cream. It's good to seem him adapting and getting used to things like this.
