“Who’s ready for some Special Interest Spam? Buckle up! My #actuallyautic son has been collecting stuff for years. His collection has been stuffed into the drawers under his bed or getting dusty on the top of his wardrobe. Until today!” she wrote as she shared an image.
In the following tweets she explained more about how her son collected all the items. “Bits of cement, tiles from his tile-phase, the rubberised stuff they make playground floors from, hazelnuts from the tree in the garden, snail shells, sea shells, fossils and gems, rocks and pebbles and sticks, seeds and bits of metal he has found on the ground. All treasures,” she tweeted. “Some he found with his metal detector, some he just saw glinting at him on the way home from school. You know he likes a place if he takes something from there, we went to a playground the other day and he brought home a piece of the wood chip from the ground,” he added.
