um just a quick question, does his hands hurt him? the reason i ask is because my fingers wont splay out because of an injury and when they hurt the two middle fingers tend to stay close together…but on the side note i love to see the grime, grime is so much more unabrasive than dirt sometimes even gravel, does he like clay? My daughter also likes his hands and even smiles ( she has autism also, and doesnt say much if anything). What did he make? he seems to be at ease um relaxed what ever did it do it again.
