How/what do you play with your child with ASD/Aspergers/autism

[~Raven~]

M will want to play the playstation most of the time but I kick him off and he will play lego, draw, I have a few writing and maths activity books for him to work on, make paper planes, arrange his hotwheels cars etc...

Together we bake as he LOVES helping me in the kitchen, he will pair up socks if I ask him to help me fold and he reads to me.

Usually he gets a feral spurt on and will have a fight or trash the lounge in the afternoon. It's mostly because of boredom and this time of year he's not keen on going outside so he has energy to burn. I keep baking up my sleeve for such occasions. Yesterday I got him peeling carrots for dinner He does a lousy job but he likes it!

Thanks Raven - m ight have a go at baking tomorrow - we haven't done that since he was about 9mths :-)

Lestyrox - glad to hear the slide was a hit! We have a backyard full of stuff that doesn't get used :-( Except for the tramp - it's about the only "toy" we have bought that he actually plays with
