oh boy! PLAY IN THE MUD! Re: I agree and..

I'm SO glad to know you understand about having 'some level' of control with autistic issues - it's very important :) Good for you!

I understand, there seems to QUITE a "head thing" with some autistic children; I've read what you've experienced before.

In some other life sometime/somewhere, I must have had zillions of children or taught school, or motivated children...or maybe it's because I'm such a huge child at heart myself (I have more Dr. Seuss, Disney and various animated films than I have adult movies...and I have no children)

Anyway, the reason I mention that, is that (not meant to be a 'brag'), I'm VERY good at motivating children of all ages. So I'm going to throw this out (barely knowing ANYthing about your son & his issues...but knowing a LOT about adults and OUR issues):

Bentonite Clay = mud. Mud? IS FUN!!!!!

Wanna get Bentonite clay on his head (and all over him)? When the weather warms up, get a big pot (or a very tiny swimming pool thing) and 5 pounds of bentonite...add water until it's muddy like 'mud slide', both of your strip down to your skivvies and get out and PLAY IN THE MUD!! Throw some at yourself and laugh your butt off - smear it on your face - and laugh even harder - get him to join in (it's likely inevitable!) - pull up grass and stick it to mud, smear it in your hair, stick your head in the pot and 'shake like a dog' - add some dandelion to your 'mud head' and do some Indian dances and just all around - have a big old MUD PARTY!!!! And be SURE to invite ME!!! (please!)

Run around the yard for an hour or so (or more) and then hose each other off...and be sure to put a tight cover on the Bentonite so it doesn't soak up 'air toxins' and then you can reuse it :)

Healing is FUN!!!!
