Help! Christmas for a 3 yr old with autism

I'm totally at a loss as to what to get DS for Christmas. He really doesn't play with the "usual" toys, and I have no clue what to get him. He loves numbers, shapes, colors, and letters

Maybe a play kitchen? Or a puppet theater?

My 5yo HFASD is really into building. We got her a bunch of stuff that is good for motor skills like lacing toys. Does he fixate on anything? That's the best way I can describe it. My daughter becomes OBSESSED with things (like space!) so we just roll with that. Do you have an educational toy store in your area? You'll get a bunch of amazing ideas if you have one!

My son is autistic and will be 4 Dec 1st... we rgetting him a tablet, he loves legos, i think the perfect thing would be the crayola easel it comes wit chalk board on one side nd dry erase board on the other... also magnets and stuff! My kids love it my sons obsessed wit it

We got my autistic son (3 last year) a backpack, a big Thomas book, a lunchbox sized trash truck (chuck truck) and a hat/mittens. We use the backpack daily still and he still plays with his truck and reads his book.

Does he like to draw?

I forgot to add to the building bit-- stuff like legos or the soft blocks!

he used to obsess with those matching game cards, but not really anymore. he loves things that go in a circle lol, for example, we got him this:

but he mostly just stems on it.

I have this for my girls and they LOVE it. Anything art. I asked her teachers things she liked to do, and what she was doing well with in school.. So DD gets a new bike this year, because she is working SO hard to pedal on the bikes she has in her developmental class  

This think is really cool too...it's colorful and it spins!

oh thats cool, i think he would like that!!
