My sister works with autistic children. She made this home video. It is very sweet.

2. I'm reminded of course . . .
. . . of the Sufi's.

Energetically, it's better to spin clockwise than counterclockwise, though I don't think that could be influenced much.

3. I mentioned the Sufis to her
how Sufis spin because it represents coming into the universe, or something like that.

6. My autistic son loves dancing, tapping, keeping tempo,
and destroying paper, photos, photo albums, the 14 foot long wallpaper mural in his bedroom, over filling bathtubs, plates, emptying boxes of salt, sugar, breaking light bulbs and shaking the shards and powder and anything else everywhere, small motors runnings, like vacuum cleaners and he broke mine and my carpet cleaner, chewing on white board markers, crayons, mud, glass, any other pica you can think of, jumping over the backyard fence and running away, going into people's homes without knocking, etc.

I'm happy for this parent that her kid likes to spin.

7. Oh Boy - what a handful!
My sister is enjoying her job with these children. She is a very emotional, intuitive person, and this brings out her abilities working with them.
