Mom Tries to Teach Lucas Play Skills

Video Summary

Lucas's mother tries unsuccessfully to engage Lucas in a game of legos. Lucas does not show an interest in this age appropriate toy or the prospect of interacting with his mother; rather, he disengages from her, focusing instead on some stray coins, staring at the wheels of a truck and eventually wandering off. Both Lucas' repetition of the word "coins" and his fixation on the truck wheels may reflect an intense sensory interest.
