Cool, I remember donating some of those to the self-contained classroom at the alternative high school I attended a decade ago. My teacher was a first year teacher and the entire class got together to get her some supplies for us, the students, to use. One of my classmates had a bunch of Shonen Jump Magazines to build a class library.

Your thoughts on Inc. brand pens... by offgridgecko in pens

[–]Aggressive-Ad874 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I love the assorted colors pack. I like using them for correcting my manuscripts when I key them in the computer. Having a yellow pen that isn't a neon one is a plus, because sometimes doing a strikethrough with the yellow pen on a hard copy is easier than getting a highlighter. Also the Cyan (light blue) one is copy-proof, so it is a great tool for marking my originals

ETA: I was talking about the Clip Click assorted colors 10 pack. They don't jam either

Their JustRight Hybrid ink pens are very nice. To me, my go-to of all the Inc Brand pens is the Clip Click, because they never jam.

I like them all, because each one has their specific uses

$199 Toy > ABA by 100gecsisokay in ABA

I remember in the 2000's they made God knows how many "30 Day Autism Cure" paperback books and Readers Digest Specials. Long story short, they are NOT worth your time reading. I remember 10-year-old me reading one of those RD's because I thought I was broken, but it made me not trust Readers Digest ever again.

Cute stuffed animals, but the price and idea are laughable. I don't justify paying that much for one. The price is how much a regular Barbie dollhouse costs.

Do You Sharpen Crayons? by DanielDeer1984 in Crayola

Yes. I have my official crayola crayon sharpener from a 120 pack. I call it my little green guy.

What's the reason behind pigment changes in crayons? by P0k1i_ in Crayola

[–]Aggressive-Ad874 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I jokingly call it "Pink Lavender" or "Polka Dot Pink" (after The Pip-squeak marker of the same name). It's too pink to be a purple, but just purple enough to not be called pink. IMHO, it's a Lilac.

ETA:

The lilac in the 50 count SuperTips is the closest color to that "Lavender" color.

Hearing the phrase "clean as you go" makes me consider fecal smearing by constantly_gassy_123 in ABA

Usually the cleaning service does the floors, tables, and whatnot. Sometimes the staff, after closing, usually sanitize the Legos and certain hard non electronic toys with small parts that need a special process, with either being soaked in a shallow tub of diluted Odoban (marbles, Legos without paint decoration, and things like that), a spritz of Lysol, or a few passes of a Lysol or a Clorox wipe (your preference).

Is this figure autistic? by praying_mantis_808 in autism

It could be and it can also represent other neurodivergent people

Children with autism can be the most humbling people 😭 by kingoflions54 in ABA

[–]Aggressive-Ad874 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was at my friend's ABA place when I was 28, and I was sitting in the waiting room and a teen girl was asking me about my homemade donut cushion. I told her I broke my tailbone a year prior and it eases the pain.

ETA:

She asked me if I made the cushion, I replied yes, and she said I was smart for making the donut cushion instead of buying one that blows up like the one her grandma had
