I love her face at the end when you block her with the sand again. That teen look of “Geez dad, I wasn’t gonna eat it (except I totally was tehe)” 🤣

[maggierovnak]

I just got the chain fidget and am already obsessed! Definitely recommend to anyone that has autism or sensory processing disorder.

I am 33 years old and love to play with kinetic sand. After getting some for my kids, I was hooked!

I work with youths with a variety disabilities at a Special Recreation Association, and I focus more with teenagers with autism and I found that a lot of my teenagers enjoy putty the most! Especially Theraputty (which is found at most Walmarts) is a putty with a variety of different elasticities to choose from, so it gives our kids quite a few options. Our kids also enjoy sensory bins the most and for some reason popcorn kernels seem to be a hit for sensory input! Love your channel, keep it up :)

I’m 26 and I have ASD/Asperger’s. My favourite sensory thing for the past couple years is building balls magnets and stick magnets. I like the feeling of the magnets attracting and sticking to each other. I’m a Quality Engineer; that’s actually how I was introduced to the magnets - by my boss, who is amazing.

I’m really enjoying some of these shorter educational videos they give me great ideas for my little friend with SPD 💙🧩

I got a multipack of sensory toys from Amazon for my anxiety. In it was one of those marble in a pouch things. I didn't think I would like it but that one has helped me the most. I have that thing in my hand all the time.

I have severe anxiety as well as ADD and I love using my fidget cube, one of those squishees (or whatever they're called) and a little looped plastic toy that can be made into shapes (I have no idea how to better describe that!)

Thank you so much for videos like this! As a future SPED teacher, I am constantly looking for tools to have under my belt when I first enter the classroom.

[angelasparks]

Thanks Asa for sharing this video with us. It's gave me a start to my search for sensory toys.

[isabelorourke]

I’m 19 and have ADD. I love fidget/ sensory toys. Love watching your videos, and how you get the word of autism out into the world. ❤️

[abilewis]

Also, those little magnetic balls are awesome

[laurencraig]

I actually won a chain fidget from you guys when you did the giveaway a while back. It has been so nice to have, I use it a lot! Also a big fan of kinetic sand

[janjangirls]

I used my fidget spinner a lot before i got the marbel one. They really help me when i get anxiety. I also really like kinetic sand.

Hi, I have the chain link ones, they are cool and I have the peapod one which is like the marble in a tube, those are my 2 favourites at the moment but I do also have fidget spinner, (bit noisy) 1 of which has lights in and works as Bluetooth speaker. I also use various fidget cubes, some rolling cubes (1 made of lego) and some with button, switches and rollerballs on. I love watching you videos and think Abbie is brilliant and beautiful. I was diagnosed with what used to be called aspergers when I was 39. I wish I had known when I was younger that I was different for a reason rather than just being the freak I thought I was. Its made my life make so much more sense since my diagnosis. I can tell people if I want to and generally it's positive, it just helps people get me a bit better and it helps me get me a bit better. ❤️ You all and your videos, keep it up. Xxx

I have a client who loves shoelaces. He can twirl and tie them in knots. We buy them buy bulk 5000 at a time. One loves the sand and legos. We build them had he takes them apart all day. One loves playing with cheap baby keys that make noise. We have so much fun everyday! 💕😁

[Sarah-hjjj]

I find Abbie so precious in this video. She's so cute! Love her! I like little figurines I can rub to calm my anxiety. It helps if the figure has a smooth texture.

[cllort]

We love the stretchy strings/bands in our house, good stuff!

[Taylor]

1:55 wow she’s fast! Reminds me of my toddlers I used to work with.

[melissaarkell]

Great video as usual. What I struggle to find is something trust my son can use that isn’t dangerous to put in his mouth as he chews and goes to eat everything. He is a massive wood chewer/eater. I need something I can trust him to have.
