Intrigued... what makes this good for autism/special needs?

[FlameFromBonfire]

here

It was on another thread and I want to know now

[needmorecoffee]

thats an awful lot of money. Perhaps that it. It's got a special needs price tag
Not sure 'dissapointed' should be spelt that way.

I see what you mean, its a new one on me! I thought the full moon could make our kids go loopy so why have a pretendy one in their room? DH would like it....

[Skipsmum]

Maybe its cos its needs lots of batteries? My AS kids love to smash things to get the batteries out....

[FlameFromBonfire]

I'm not insane then!!!!

I thought it was something to lure in people desperately clutching at straws, and then hoped i was wrong

[coppertop]

My two would love it but I suspect it would distract ds2 from going to sleep.

Xmas presents cracked then CT?

[babalon]

Maybe its a control thing??? (clutching at straws here)

strange selling angle

[TotalChaos]

maybe they think lots of aspie kids are into astronomy (clutches at straws).

[FlameFromBonfire]

(On a complete aside - where does the phrase "clutching at straws" come from?!?!)

LOL Davros. I quite liked the look of those cuddly germ toys on the other thread too.

Ds2 has a torch by his bed too. It's one of those torches that you shake to power it up so that it doesn't need batteries. Bliss!

I don't know about sn but my DSs would certainly love it!

[ladygrinningsparklers]

It's made by the same people as the solar system thingy, with the central sun light and the planets that go round and round. DS has one of those in his playroom and loves it, as it caters for his interest in the solar system AND his interest in spinning objects. Vendor has obviously assumed, made by same people so also suitable for SN.

I did actually consider getting a moon for his space themed bedroom but decided not to on the grounds it would distract him from going to sleep. He has a crescent moon wall light instead that is just a light and doesn't do any interesting stuff.
