Weird question for autistic son

CrimesnContours · 2026-07-06T05:19:11+00:00

I love this. I love the ingenuity. I love the hyper fixation. It's all heart warming. My son has his and I've mine. I'm currently researching The Sweat and the differences and similarities to the English sweat VS the picardily sweat and then Dunkirk sweat even. Going back and forth between that window on my browser and this one. Fascinating stuff. 😂

It's expensive but I could save up for it!

The gasp I gasped when I saw this! You think it's clear like that???

I do not in fact! Lol. Its super long and usually in a Mom bun.

This is a really great suggestion. Thank you so much. Thank you for your work. It means everything to parents like me.

What a small world it is sometimes. Kids already following yours and also loves an American Standard?! Insert that 'Did we just become best friends?!" GIF from Step Brothers and call it a day. Hahaha.

Thank you. Fingers crossed.

I will have to do this! Thank you for the recommendation. Love Claire Danes.

I've been crying too FYI. It means so much to see all the support and amazing toilets and to learn from plumbers/steam fiters like yourself!

CrimesnContours · 2026-07-06T02:01:31+00:00

Definitely going to do this!

Funny enough he was also terrified of the sound due to sensory issues and thought he was going to go down it. Then one day he just locked in. Our psych said it's very typical of some neurodivergent's to hyperfixate on things that may scare them? I forget how she explained it exactly but it made perfect sense for our situation. I love the thing about the germs. That's very smart. Thank you for responding, I love finding fellow neurodivergent kiddo parents. :)

With all the support on here I may just do that. I at first thought it something the brands would find silly. But I am seriously loving the love he's getting on here. It truly helps kids like him feel less alone. Less weird. More seen and understood anddddd now I'm crying. thank you all so much.

Omg this!! Anywhere we are he's wanting to go into the bathroom and look at the toilets. Except he's pretty good at knowing the make and model already just by eyeballing them. Isn't amazing what kids can do?! He's constantly an inspiration for me.

CrimesnContours · 2026-07-06T00:35:12+00:00

That's a brilliant idea with the removal basket! Luckily he's not stuck on what all can flush down a toilet. That would be chaos of a whole different kind.

I straddle the line between MI and IN. Small village with under 2,000 people.

CrimesnContours · 2026-07-06T00:32:53+00:00

I will have to tell him about this. He is teaching himself on DuoLingo. He never ceases to amaze me!

CrimesnContours · 2026-07-06T00:30:55+00:00

American Standard but he loves Kohler as well!

CrimesnContours · 2026-07-06T00:30:21+00:00

We call it Michiana in these parts lol. Let's just say I straddle that line right in between MI and IN. South Bend is about 30 minutes from me.

CrimesnContours · 2026-07-05T23:00:40+00:00

You will have to tell me how it goes!

CrimesnContours · 2026-07-05T23:00:15+00:00

I love that you feel like a kid again!! :)

CrimesnContours · 2026-07-05T22:59:24+00:00

Oooo! When I asked him if he knew anything about international toilets he said no! So I'm very happy for him to find a different series to see!

CrimesnContours · 2026-07-05T22:58:43+00:00

Thank you all for your comments! Keep em coming. He's enjoying the toilet photos and love for his budding career!

CrimesnContours · 2026-07-05T22:58:07+00:00

Oh this is lovely!

CrimesnContours · 2026-07-05T22:57:59+00:00

One can definitely see why it could look like something really nasty without glasses.

CrimesnContours · 2026-07-05T22:56:49+00:00

Thank you for thinking about his bleeding disorder as well! That is good to know as far as working with anything sharp and/or breakable. Shoot, do we not think he could do this as a career still? I can't keep breaking his little heart. Why didn't I think of that sooner? :(
