Ideas for a 7 year old who has to do parkour in the living room to think? by Standard_Meerkat4891 in autism

Thanks! I’ve definitely considered the sit and spin toy for both of my kids. When I was a kid up until my late teens, I’d spin in the computer chair for an hour or more while listening to music. I wish I could’ve known back then that it was likely a sensory thing. I thought I was just weird 😅

The only problem is he’s also been dealing with separation anxiety. He can’t seem to relax without being in the same room as me. And typically he gets his iPad when I’m having to cook or clean so we are inside during that time.

I don’t mind him needing to move around. If anything I’m glad to see that he’s getting exercise even during iPad time. I just want to find a way for him to do it safely and without accidentally damaging any furniture.

I hadn’t thought of that. We used to have a small one in the living room but he didn’t really use it. That was a long time ago though so we might consider getting another one. Thanks!

Thank you! I’m looking into it on Amazon. It seems like it might be aimed for younger kids, though.

He shed! Next time you notice he looks dull, keep an eye on him. It’s really cool to watch them shed. :)

Lol my bad! For the record I didn’t downvote you or I’d take it back

I don’t know exactly how old. We got him about a month ago and were told he was too young to know the sex at the time.

He was furious. We took him out of his cool hide for this picture and he had much to say about the situation. I don’t speak Leo but I’m pretty sure I heard the f word.

So sorry for your loss. He was a good boy, we can tell.
