Cool stuff to buy for kids with Asperger's

In case you happen to have money burning a hole in your pocket. These things have been life savers for us in many ways. And if you can get ahold of grant money, lots of these can be bought with that.

If I think of any more, I'll add them. And I'm not advertising for these places, just showing links to show what we've bought Monster. I'm sure they are available lots of places.
