Susan is a 5-year-old diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. Your first time alone working with her, she stands and sits very close to you when she is playing. She makes some humming sounds that sound like vague human speech and she takes your hand and guides it towards her inner thigh. When you pull your hand back from her, she has a look of surprise on her face.
