Gardening and Autism

Gardening and Autism Gardening and Autism has been created to share the experiences my husband and I have gone through raising our autistic son Malcolm.

Gardening has changed the way we live and created a positive outlet for us all as a family and Malcolm in particular.

Has he just forgotten that he is the president! Seems like he, himself also has learning disabilities!

Water obsession

It's been a while since I posted about something we are doing with Malcolm. His obsession with water seems to have intentensifed and with the outdoor pond and waterfall not accessible due to the cold winter months, we had to find an alternative.

Malcolm has been frequently turning on taps to satisfy this need and we bough a low voltage âš¡ compact tiered waterfall to give him the visual, the touch and the sound he craves. It may not be as gushing as the tap water, but it seems to be working. He's finally interacting with the waterfall. This calms him down and at the same time reduces our water bills. Besides, a lot of hot water is being wasted when tapes are left on for too long. This may have an impact on our heating bills in the long-term too, if a waterfall solution is not sought.

How time flies. Both Malcolm and the garden structures have changed. Malcolm lost the hair and the garden structure gained a roof.
