To say he "plays" with cars is kind of the wrong wording!
But what's actually wrong with that, Ariana?

And, are you expecting to be able to force him to play the way the other children do?

So what? You're letting his unorthodox style of play make you miserable, and by fighting him, you're making him miserable, so he in turn makes you more miserable.

It sounds like this child might need a program with more flexibility so his developmental issues can be addressed. I'm seeing some resentment toward this child in what you're saying. I don't know if his needs can be met and your happiness can thrive the way things are going right now.
