    My sons, Isaiah and Isaac, (age 14) have autism. The amazing thing about this video is that it shows how far they’ve come in regard to sensory dysfunction. Loud noises used to send them into meltdowns. Now, after years of sensory integration therapy (via Mom - not therapists) and sensory saturation (again, a Mom therapy and theory I plan on writing a book about), they are able to run these machines! Isaac is weeding and Isaiah is blowing the weeds to wherever. They love this activity and are always begging to do it. Can’t argue with that!
