Took DS into ELC today to assess his reaction to the tower of doom, which I was wanting to get him for christmas.
He said oh yes that's nice (in a very montoone bored voice) - the spotted all the Thomas toys behind it and became hysterically excited and ran across the store to them!
I told DP about this and he said Thomas is too babyish, and he will outgrow it soon. If DS wasn't AS I would agree but don't think DP has his head around this as much as I do. DS is 4 next month, in 5-6 clothes so looks old but is very 'young' in behaviour.
I kind of realised he may still be in 'preschooler' type toys for a while now and felt guilty and sad for trying to push him on when he is happy as he is.
I am now thinking I should buy him Thomas as his main present (to go with his cuckoo clock and tardis.) WWYD?
Here are some suggested organisations that offer expert advice on special needs.
SN children
Parents with older AS dcs - do they ever outgrow Thomas?
