Gift for an autistic boy

[crazylizzy]

Hi everyone, I am in need of some advice and wonder if you could help

Someone we know has recently given us some lovely hand me downs from her son for our DC and I would like to get her son a gift just to show our appreciation. He is autistic, (severally) he's 13, doesn't talk, not toilet trained etc, and I really don't know what the best gift would be for him, can anyone point me in the right direction please? Many thanks

Does he like picture books? They are always a hit with DS.

what are his interests? I agree music could be good - my dd1 loves it, and spends a large part of her time listening to her favourites.

Is there anything he like doing, maybe a family swimming pass to local pool, if it is something he can access.

Or a local Zoo or similar.

My ds2 doesn,t really get gifts, he doesn't really play with anything but a treat to something he can enjoy is always appreciated.
