[quote=Anonymous]I concur with PP. None of my 3 kids lined up cars and all 3 are autistic. It's really what it symbolizes, the rigidity and the dire need for things to be a "certain" way. My oldest needed me to say things in a certain tone, at a certain time, and he always wanted things to be the same way. He had little to no playskills at 3. My middle child (girl, so unlikely to line up cars anyway) was obsessed with having EVERYTHING in the house take a nap, she put "blankets" (towels, tissues etc.) on everything, including shoes, pencils, etc. My last child wants to play with everything the same way and will play with things inappropriately the same way over and over. She would feed me with a play cookie over and over, expecting me to say the same thing, the same way. Wouldn't exchange it for a different item, it HAD to be that cookie.They don't always do it, but they often do it, and trying to break this repetition always costs us. We have to do it in order to be able to get them to play with things appropriately, but many times after an ABA session my youngest won't nap because her world got disturbed and it upsets her.
