How Edward learns - I call this natural ASD learning, ASD child led

This is how Edward learns - he marries up neurons by putting different things together to help him remember. Play dough and the world map. Matching up blocks on his posters that get pulled down off the walls constantly. The television gets many different items traced over the top of it. Others have included foam letters on the swing and the trampoline, jumping on the foam letters, wrapping his blocks in play dough. Singing and pointing to his posters at the right time. He will look at posters and objects from different stand points, upside down, jumping on the trampoline, rocking on the rocking chair, jumping, swinging standing on a chair, eating his books, tearing his posters, singing his learning songs to different tunes, singing his songs in different places. Because of his lack of caring about people hearing him sing on the train, on the ferry, at the kiddy gym he finds as many different ways that most of us would be put in a padded cell for ( lucky he is cute and 3 years old)

I am hoping this would give people a glimpse into our messy house, upside down world and give others ideas on how to extend their children.
