My Son whos 8 he has started winding his window down on car journeys and throwing things out of the window, things he likes, favourite toys and snacks. He’s then very anxious as they’re broken often. What could be behind this and what could I. do?

Hi NAS75657 , thank you for sharing with the online community. There may be several reasons why your son is engaging in throwing, for example for communication, sensory stimulation or as a coping mechanism.
There will generally be a reason for the behaviour and it is important to try and understand the trigger for it when developing strategies. You may like to have a look at the following link for more information on behaviour and strategies: https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/topics/behaviour.
You may also find it useful to have a look our page on Communication: https://autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/topics/communication/understanding-and-developing-communication.
I hope these help.
Best wishes,
Anna Mod
