Hi there,
Would you say people on the spectrum get obesessive/addicted easily?
My son has become addicted to this mindless computer game called minecraft. He doesnt play it but watches the videos of people playing it on Youtube. There are thousands done by the same 2 fellas.
He watches them whenever he can. When i try to restrict his veiwing he flys into the most uncontrolable rages (which is not like him, hes normally quite placid) he will punch, kick, scream, cry till hes sick, threaten to harm himself...
Should i restrict him further, ban him altogether....I feel terrible restricting him to 2 hours because he finds so much peace and enjoyment, he giggles contantly while hes watching it and it holds his attention.
Im just concerned at how badly he turns when you tell him to knock it off, in his words may as well be dead if he isnt allowed to watch it!
Im open to suggestions :D
thanks, Lou x
