2. Everyone loves getting gifts, but what better way for a child to play
with the whole family than during good old fashioned quality time.
A simple, cost effective and much desired gift for children with
autism is a family's time, patience and empathy. Baking or doing
arts & crafts were popular activities.

3. Children with autism tend to learn more visually or by touch and
as such, sometimes struggle with instructions given in the
traditional school settings. Giving interactive educational materials
like DVDs, toys and games including popular brands like Leapster
or Leap Pad help children with autism learn, while keeping them
entertained, according to surveyed parents.

4. Most children love to be read to, and children with autism especially enjoy many of the
features found in children's books, such as repetition and rhyming. Classics like "Good
Night Moon," "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie," and Dr. Seuss books all use predictive
patterns, repetition and rhymes. The ability of children with autism spectrum disorder to
remember details is astonishing. Surveyed parents said older children may enjoy books
that focus on specific subjects within history and science, full of detailed information
that allows them to immerse themselves in the story.

5. Puzzles are a favorite toy of children with autism, according to
their parents. Connecting pieces provides a satisfying tactile
sensation, and children enjoy the bright colors that come into
picture as the puzzle progresses.

6. Many children with autism struggle to interact socially. Surveyed
parents said setting up play dates with other kids may help
children with autism apply their social skills while enjoying the
emotional benefit of a friendship connection.

7. Video games can engross children with autism and help them
learn and gain confidence, according to surveyed parents. Many
parents said they bring handheld games when they're traveling or
taking their child to another activity where he or she will need to
sit still for a long period of time.

8. Parents of children with autism say they turn to gift cards to avoid
the embarrassing "I don't like it!" moment. Giving a gift card is a
good way to give both the gift of flexibility and the gift of respite
from a socially awkward moment.

9. Some children are sensitive to touch, while others are sensitive to
sounds or lights. As a result, gifts that appeal to the senses like
plushies and flashlights are popular.

10. From high-tech to low-tech, the No. 2 toy on parents' list was a
classic: Legos. The bright colors and tactile experience of playing
with Legos is a big draw for children on the autism spectrum, who
can also use the blocks to express themselves creatively and
experience the tactile sensation some children crave when
snapping the Lego pieces together. Lego building sets are great for
older children, surveyed parents said.

11. According to MyAutismTeam's survey, nearly a quarter of responders said the
favorite toy for children with autism may be the preferred toy among many
Americans of all ages: Apple's iPad.
As 60 minutes reported last October, many iPad apps help children with autism
learn and communicate, which can often be a struggle. The sensory experience
of the touch screen also holds the attention of many children with autism
keeping them engaged for hours.
