Please can anyone help me with some good presents for my nearly 2 year old autistic sons birthday I'm struggling to find things as he doesn't really play, he loves his peg puzzles and carrying objects around :)

Some DC with additional needs who like carrying things do so to meet a sensory need. It is ‘heavy work’. Other things that can provide a similar sensory input are things like pushing a wheelbarrow (you could look at a toy children’s one), trampoline, a climbing frame, weighted soft toy.

He might enjoy some of the following.
The click clack track and ball roller both have elements that can be carried rolled or moved. Both good for ready steady go activities and basic turn taking with you.
The Melissa and Doug puzzles are to extend his interest in puzzles and develop fine motor skills.
He may or may not like spinning around himself? A swing is another good idea.
