I wish I had been able to do that with my Aspie son. I certainly tried, but he was just so incredibly high need that after a while I started questioning whether I was just "spoiling" him. Part of the problem was that he gained weight very rapidly and the ring sling that I had was not the best choice for me, but I knew nothing about wraps. Whenever I tried to wear him, the pain in my neck and shoulder would make me want to take the sling off and put him down. I really had a very hard time reading his cues, he just seemed to want to nurse all the time. I can't help but feel if I had "done it right" I might understand him better now. He also had the massive vocabulary, much like your son. He started speaking at about 7 months. It is interesting to hear other families' experiences.

I am an aba tutor and love to see parents enjoying their children and vice versa, regardless of being on the spectrum. :) I think this a lovely piece.
