Roo has always been attracted to numbers and letters. His most favorite things to do, and what makes him appear to be in such deep thought, is when he holds his flexible sticks bending them up and down in a landscape of visually appealing patterns (I am guessing). It was after reading Tammet's book that I first looked at this "behavior" as more than just him "stimming" with his stick. I really think that there is a lot more going on with him and his flexible sticks. I only hope that one day he can tell me (or write) all about it.
