Need a gift idea for autistic boy age 9?

His favorite video game is Marble Blast. He's physically able and active but limited in spoken language.

Update:

No - he's not a savant or gifted pianist or anything like that. He looks normal and is nice and playful like any 9 YO and you wouldn't know he was autistic until he speaks.

    try getting him something that he could use it physically or perhaps something that allows communication with other kids..such as a giftcard to a nearby bowling place similar to barble blast(in someway) you to could bond and he discover a new hobby or take him golfing in which you two could practice. stuff like that.

    My autistic kids prefer to be called autistic, to them it's an adjective.

    If you want another video game, try Zuma for the computer. Also look at Crystal quest and Crystal crazy. what about snowball run?

    Also, think about taking him bowling. My DD loves bowling, and the same games are her favorites.

    You didn't really give us a lot of ideas about his interests, but if he likes the marble video game and likes to build things this Marble run/ maze is lots of fun. Kids of all ages and abilities love it and I have to admit that I can play it for hours also. There are other simpler cheaper versions also.. this has all the bells and whistles with the marble elevator.

    Does he have any special talents like some autistic people? If so I'd get him a gift related to his talent.

    I would say maybe some type of journal or writing tool or art supply so that he can find a way to express himself.

    btw, just so you know: it's actually politcally incorrect to call in an autistic boy; it is more acceptable to say he is a boy who has autisim.
