   So, our autistic 7 year old (mostly non-verbal) rarely plays with any particular thing for a long time, but the teachers at school put him in a VR set and he watched water for 45+ minutes.

   We're thinking of getting one for his birthday. He hardly wants anything, so it'd be nice to do something special. Any recommendations? Thinking a meta quest 2?

     I don't think he generally understands or cares about the gaming aspects of things, so we're more interested in open worlds, especially aquatic ones, that he could get immersed in.

     Also not concerned about movement because the little God runs around the world 24 hours a day. He had a six pack at age five. He can do situps from a hanging position.

     @ZachWeinersmith I have one of those and it's incredible to watch. 11 year old who can do muscle ups and a standing backflip.

     Meanwhile I'm working on being able to bend over and touch my toes.
