This reminds me of a couple kids at my work. All the kids in my workplace are on the autism spectrum.

One little boy has taken a random liking to one of my usual students. My student’s not quite ready to voluntarily go up to/play with others, but this other kid will go up to him with his own favorite toy and give it to him to play with. It’s like he’s thinking, “This toy makes me happy, if I give it to him then he will be happy.” Also if my kid wants to run around, this other kid will run around with him. They are thiiiis close to re-inventing tag together.

It’s so cute and sweet.
