My daughter has special needs and possibly a mild form of autism. You wouldn't know by looking at her. She likes to pretend to be different children every day. For christmas she's asked for a camera. I thought this would be great for her. It turns out though, she wants it to take pics of cute babies and toddlers, so she can look at the pics and choose which one to pretend to be. She said she will give them names and make stories about them.
I don't quite know how people will react to this. Should I just let her or not? It's hard to explain to her why she can't do that. She's so excited about getting her camera and making her little album. what would you do?

I would think it was lovely, wouldn't mind at all.

Re: cutting out pics from catalogues - I used to do this with my mum's Freemans catalogue, and a few years ago found one of my scrapbooks with pictures, names and ages etc. added and lots of editorial like 'What a beautiful woman!' Smile
