Here’s something interesting, it’s called “Muhallabia”, an Arabian dessert, great to give kids a taste of something exotic!

1/2 a cup of rice, soaked in 1/2 a cup of milk for an hour
5 cups of milk
half a cup of white sugar
a handful of blanched, sliced almonds
a few drops of rose water
chopped pistachios

It can be hard to know what to buy for autistic children when it comes round to birthdays, Christmas or any other special occasion, but books for autistic children can be a great option. There are many things you have to consider when buying for autistic children because they don’t necessarily relate to toys in the same way other children do.

Clothing is not always a safe choice as they may have issues with texture or colors and many toys might be too loud or just not be of any interest. Books on the other hand can make a great choice for these kids, but even then there are considerations to keep in mind.
