How an autistic child plays with toys.

This is a short video of my 4 year old autistic son playing with his cars. He likes to rub them on the floor so that the tires spin then he just stares at the tires. Sometimes he also lines them up in a row. This is such a short video because I only had a little bit of free space on my phone. I will post longer videos as soon as I shoot them.

@princegabe1988 Umm.....I'm not saying that if you play with toy cars the way my son does then you have Autism. Please read my main channel description page to see his traits and characteristics which make him Autistic and check out the other videos. Thank you for your comment and have a great day!

Dont listen to these silly people talking about you posting these videos, I thank you for posting them, as a fellow mother of an autistic child, videos like yours have helped me gain more insight into my sons world. So Thank you, and Best of luck!!

People are so narrow minded! If I didn't know better I would just say that's a little boy playing!

[sweetfacesofautism]

@absc19 No kidding, right? Nothing for him to be embarrassed about. :/

@simbaandsimon In what way do you mean? He's just playing with his cars like he always does. I don't suspect that he will be embarrassed by seeing himself playing with his toys. If he is embarrassed (which he probably won't be since he is in his own world and doesn't seem to be all that concerned with what is going on around him, much less interested in computers) then I will remove the videos. Have a great day! :)

People are mean and they do question kids and ask what's wrong with them and they do have a hard time in school and in activities because they are not like everyone else.

It is what I notice.

My step son does the same, he lines up cars and lays on the floor for hours and rolls then back and forth spinning the tires. He knows which one is out of place when we play with him and he knows his order. He does this especially when other people are around and other cousins and he has done this for years since he was 3 and now 8...He also had severe asthma and stuttering problems and would not look anyone in the eyes.He does not make friends. This is helpful.
