(CNN)– Cruising in just in time for Autism Acceptance Month.

Hot Wheels introduced a car designed called “flipping fast” specifically for kids with autism. The design is inspired by fidget spinners.

It encourages an open-ended play experience, letting kids enjoy a wide range of motion, rolling it forward and backward, spinning it and flipping it.

Mattel says the design emphasizes there’s no wrong way to play.

The Autistic Self Advocacy Network’s seal is on the packaging which means it meets the unique play needs of kids on the autism spectrum.
