There are some good toys suitable for autistic children:
Fisher Price Go Fish
This game teach sharing, team-playing and works on eye-hand coordination. this game is for3-7 years old child. The price is about $6,99. The box is a small square size with a handle for kids to transport. I got a look of interest from my son and that was enough for me since he enjoys all the other fishing games and poles we have, so why not one more! Both my children fall into the recommended age range of three to seven. What appealed to me was there are two levels so this game will last several years in our household. My complaint would be there is only one fishing pole making it a sharing game for my two kids that must learn to wait their turn to touch or handle the pole.
There is no reading required with this game, and we have another game in this line-up, Octopus Dominoes™, not yet listed at this website unfortunately! There are two green worm labels you place on either side of the worm that dangles from the fishing pole. The pole is yellow with a section in the back for the worm to snap into place when not fishing. The pole does nothing else, the knob is a decoration and does not move. There are thirty-five fish cards that look identical on the front side but on the back there are four colors to differentiate between them as well as numbers.
These consist of one through eight. The colors are red, yellow, green and blue, same as the boats. This means there are four cards with each color for the numbers. The premise of the game is the winner would have four matching colors to the boat inside the boat. There are three other cards that are blue on the other side with the pictures being a shoe, tire and anchor. If at any time a player gets one of these they show to the other players and toss back into the pile of other cards to be picked up by next player
