In an article published by The Los Angeles Times, parents won't have a hard time buying gifts these Christmas for their kids who are diagnosed with autism because there are now toys that could work for them.
Among the stores that educate parents on what to buy for their kids with this case is Hasbro. They teach parents in their store on how their kids could play with My Little Pony and Mr. Potato Head.
Those characters could sometimes come out strong and bright, especially the My Little Pony set, that kids with autism tend to be anxious about playing them. What they really need is a little help on how they could manage and conquer such anxiety.
