I am currently supporting a 13 year old child in school who has a fixation with weapons, particularly guns. How do I distract him away from this as he is disrupting the class as well as himself? If I ask him to stop he apologises but will continue within a few minutes. Do we ignore or try to divert?
I'm going to point out that autism is now a disqualifying medical condition for joining the British Army.
However, there are some other avenues you could divert him into; have you ever taken him paintballing or to Airsoft?
