what is the development of play in autism?

Question

i want ti know the developmental sequence of play in auistic kids

Answer 1

In autism, the presence and interplay of spirits around you play a part. Probably invisible to you; they are former mortals, as alive as you are and with their own talents which your own are calling forth. My best organ playing teacher had been an autistic child and could like transfer into her mind and hands fast...music she hadn't needed to study at least long... And you know there are mathmatical experiences some autistic people have.So its not all bad. Learn what you can. Say thanks to all those involved around you.

Answer 2

That varied greatly from one child to another.
Left to their own devises, autistic kids seldom engage in any social play. They play solo.
My nephew loved climbing, swinging, rocking, spinning wheels & twirling cords or beads. He wouldn't play with a toy truck like a regular child. No pushing it along going "varroom, varroom." He would turn the truck over & spin its wheels.
My niece loves electroninc toys that speak or play music when you squeeze it or press a button. If I need to entertain her I call my bank & go to the automated menu where they recite what the last 5 checks were, what amount & when they went through. She will listen, absolutely transfixed! She has sat and listened to 30 or so checks & I still had a hard time prying the phone from her hands!
They need to be taught the concept of social & imaginative play.
My niece & nephew are classic autism, which is much more severe than Asperger's so if your child has Asperger's, don't be discouraged.
