Upcoming 18th for Autistic

NAS38671

Hello..  we have an 18th birthday fast approaching for a Autistic boy, issue is when you ask him what he wants for Birthday he says Thomas the Tank engine.  I feel as he will be 18 buying him Thomas gifts won’t be helping.   He already has loads of Thomas things.  Other things on his birthday list are toys aimed  at 7 years old.  Advice would very much be appreciated

  • I agree with what the 3 people above me have already said but I have to as why you think Thomas and the other toys are such a problem? These are things your son loves, surely you would rather spend your money on something that your son loves and will think the world of than some more socially acceptable grown up gift that he will have little or no interest in.

    What would it not be helping? His happiness? His well-being? His feelings?
