My DD is not autistic, but has a lot of obsessive-compulsive tendencies. One of her "things" is that whatever she buys/gets has to be put into her backpack and many things never see the light of day again once they hit the backpack. (And we can't try to sneak them out later very well, since she knows what should be in there and gets rather upset if something is out that should be in. So, pin trading would not work for her.PamPP said:Thank you all for your responses to my questions regarding my son.
Lots of good information - I wrote a lot of things down!!
I am just worried about him not enjoying himself while we all have fun!
He does like to be very social - mostly with adults - and I was thinking that perhaps he would like to do some pin trading. This might be a good way for him to interact with people without the anxiety of worrying about the rides. Anyone with experience with pin trading and your autistic child?
Thanks for you help!

That said, if your DS is OK with the idea of trading, I'd say pin trading would be a great way to interact and have a good time without going on rides.
I have read posts from people with children with special needs who found it was really great for their child. Hopefully, some will write to let you know first hand.
