36 Bath Time He knows I’m present, and engages me when he wants to pull the plug, or pour the cup of water on his head, or mine. Autism clouds his world and his interactions with everyone. In a nearly constant state of self-stimulation, James finds sensory pleasure in the feeling, sound, and sight of water. James loves water, or is it something else? One day he may be able to tell me, but for now we watch for clues, and learn to engage on his terms when possible. “Children with autism generally love water. The feel and freedom of it seems to bring out joy and abandon, something that often eludes them in everyday life.” “...life suspended, between worlds, a moment in time.”
Without cameras, my ife would be bleak. With ameras, I can see.” The esult is a strange form f double vision. “I always ee things twice. First, I ee an impression. I take hat I think I see, later I an see what I saw. I have ertain aims, guesses, mpressions, but the hotographs are always surprise.” Hands and fingers Hands and body always on the move - the hands flail, as James jumps, and runs and touches, and engages the world in a way hard to understand. Water, water, water, sensory stimulation, and overstimulation. Some say this is how “persons with autism” calm themselves. Not everyone agrees. Some believe stimming damages the brain. “autism descending, autism arrives on the planet, invades homes and families, insidious, distorted reality” 37
