Gifts for Kids with Autism

The trees are up, the houses sparkle, and the big day is fast approaching. Shopping for gifts can be stressful, and particularly difficult if you're looking for toys for a child with autism.

Julie Bick of the New York Times wrote an article to help. Bick offers several resources from toy companies like the Differently-Abled Toy Guide by Toys 'R Us or the spectrum-friendly gift ideas at Neurodiversity.com. She also covers recommendations from parents and professionals for main-stream toys and options off the beaten path.
