I know every child with autism is different. I think of some of the children I've had on my caseload as a special education teacher. I can think of one in particular would love the pockets. He loves little figures, bean-bag cats and cartoon figures, etc. What a woinderful idea to leave the pockets in. I would think any child would like them for their "little junk" as my MIL used to call my children's favorite little toys.
