Even old jig-saw puzzle parts can be turned into colorful and interesting ornaments that add a unique touch to the tree. When you think about it, this makes sense. We purchase collector ornaments such as Barbies, Star Wars, or other's and place them on the tree because they hold some special meaning to us. Autistic children have possessions that have special meaning as well, and allowing them to display them as ornaments serves the same purpose for them as our collector ornaments does for us. Even commercial ornaments can be used to give a creative activity to the Autistic child.
Many Autistic children enjoy working with stickers.
Why not take a solid color ornament, hopefully non-breakable, and allowing the child to choose a sticker from a selection of them to decorate that ornament. Holiday stickers are inexpensive, as are many ornaments, and the combination of the two adds an individual touch to your home. In the end, you and your family will be glad for this opportunity to make the holidays special for everyone. Read about the link between Autism and mercury poisoning.
