Could someone suggest toys for a little boy who looks like he may be autistic please?

Loves cars, but I'm looking for something more sensory.

Any ideas would be welcome please

This thread is a bit old now, but if you have landed here looking for recommendations, we've recently updated our guide to the best toys for 3-year-olds featuring toys tried and tested by Mumsnet parents.

We hope you find this useful.

Erm. I don't know if these are for 3 year olds but they're sensory toys. WHSMITHS has sensory books with ribbons, squeezes, bells and blocks sewn in. I honestly don't know if this is of help.

I volunteered at a community centre once that supported kids and adults with special needs. Their sensory rooms are full of light's and music mechines, white noise, trickling water tinkling sounds. Decorated like a soft pastel Christmas. Fans with LEDS in that light up and fiber optics.

These were for older kids but the did have special needs that caused their days to be stressful.

Consider whether he likes quiet or noisy.

PS They had a sensory garden full of herbs too.

PPS I'm not an expert just hope I have anything that helps.
