items Our now 2.5 year old was diagnosed with autism when he was 1. It was an earlier diagnosis than typical. These are the tools/products that have been lifesavers for him especially being such a young age!
Typical crash pads were starting at more than $100 when we first started looking at them. This was a great alternative, and both of my kids love it to jump off and on. They also relax and watch movies. The full size is super big as well.
