I have worked extensively with autistic children and find that my lullabyes and guitar playing can be very soothing to them. BTW does anyone remember an album...probably by Vanguard...maybe by Pete Seeger...but I have never seen it in his available work...that included a song called "Little Cowboy"? I learned it way back when and it has actually become my signature song for many years.. Also on the album was a song about swinging on the gate...the context was something like....it was naughty to swing on the gate.... The words to Little Cowboy are: Little Cowboy, put your saddle in the barn Tie your horse up tight, so he'll know no harm. Put your hat and your guns beside you on the chair Don't forget to say a little prayer.......etc.
