so, remember how i'm now babysitting this kid? his name's Logan, he's 5 yrs old, and he's autistic. I don't know quite what i'm doing, but i think i'm doing okay. Logan does a couple of things and i'm reminded each time about a story Jen wrote when we were in like, 3rd or 4th grade or something called "On My Sister's Planet" and it was about how the things Missy did really made sense to her cause she lived in her own little world. I've noted some things similar with Logan:

Thing I see him do: hum/make sylable noises
What he's really doing: talking/chanting/saying spells

Thing I see him do: rip up cardboard boxes and crumple and rip the pieces in his fingers and then snaps his fingers to make them fall to the floor.
What he's really doing: Getting/freeing energies out of the box's material

Thing I see him do: try to stand on his head, using the couch as his base and support
What he's really doing: Makeing it easier for the energy he gets from the cardboard to flow to his head so he'll have stronger magical powers

Thing I see him do: Clap, snap, and hum at the wall, couch, or box.
What he's really doing: Trying to say the spell that will open up a doorway back to his own world, but the words never come out quite right, so the door doesn't open. OR he's trying to put the energies he got out of the box into the wall or the couch to fix it in some way, but since i can't see what's wrong w/ it, i don't know what it is. OR he is a great healer of fairies.

so yea, i could be right, no one can say for sure, since we're not inside his head, we can only see from the outside.
