I've recently started learning to knit. I find this to be very relaxing and it helps me to releive stress. It's also great because I can learn a hobby to make useful things. I would really like to learn to knit and stuff toys for my baby when he's a bit older.
Knitting also helps me because I stim a lot with my hands. This, in and of itself, is not a problem, except for the fact that one of the stims I have does cause occasional injury to my hands. Knitting is a great replacement for this stim that serves a useful purpose, as well as stress-relief.
Crochet is an alternative if the sharp looking needles make you nervous.
Just wanted to share that in case anyone else wants to try it. Hope you all have a Happy New Year!

I wish I could get my son to knit, but I doubt it. He constantly bites his nails and picks at his fingers until they bleed.
I tried knitting but could not master picking up a dropped stitch, so after a couple hats and a few scarves, lacking that one skill started to drive me crazy.
My mum taught me the basics of knitting this past winter (Australian winter). Now that it is summer I feel that it is just too hot to knit so I hope I haven't forgotten how by the time the cooler weather starts again.

We would appreciate your assistance in helping us try to identify if the use of epidural analgesia/anesthesia and Pitocin during childbirth have any association with the development of autism.
