hmm... not sure how helpful to me this would be... for someone with a lot of visual stimulation issues and that yes, but i have more tactile issues... though the waterbed would be nice

When in doubt, ask an autistic. Chances are, they're obsessed with what you need to know. :roll:

It's strange because every course I've been on about treating ASD patients talks about "low arousal" enviroments and I know I hate being in that sort of place and would love to have some of those in my surgery, not that there's room with all the pictures, mobiles and toys!
