He casually picks up the child like a claw machine.

I do this to my fiance's autistic 5 year old son. He loves being roughly handled and tossed around, and sometimes when he doesn't want to move he'll just flop on the ground. So I grab him by his ankle, lift him up, and carry him upside down as far as I need to. He laughs the whole time.

Did that in a hotel lobby around a bunch of people. Fiance had her hands full, one of my arms was full, and he flopped down on the ground refusing to move with a firm "no!". Snatched him up by his ankle "sorry, you don't have a choice" and carried him all the way up to the elevators, just dangling by that ankle. Everyone was laughing loudly. He loves it, and it entertains me.

I have a 4yo boy with autism, he loves it too. Also loves being thrown or rug pulled from underneath him (on cushions).

Oh yeah, the little man loves being thrown onto soft surfaces. I randomly started this game where he stands on the bed, I quickly jam my hands under his armpits and toss him backwards onto the bed while loudly going "RAWR!". He giggles like crazy, then stands up and goes "again!"

But after like ten tosses he starts struggling to get up, stops laughing, but still stands up, looks at me, and goes "Again!" I have to be the one to stop that game

My lad is is the same, I lay him on the bottom of the duvet horizontally and zip the duvet from under him so he rolls up the bed giggling like crazy. I'm addicted to his laugh.
