  An empty cardboard box? I guess a lot of you were autistic children. Plastic dinosaurs FTW!!!! Dino-Riders!

  I don’t believe, that playing with a cardboard box makes you an autistic child. Maybe, it simply means, that those children have more of an imagination than children who play with Dinosaurs, Barbies, and G.I. Joes.
