compulsions

hi there,

im a support worker for an autistic man in his early fifties, im trying to figure out a better way of trying to stop him obsessing over his neighbours movements, he often waits on the pavement waiting for them to go to work etc his neighbours are quite tolerant but thats not always the case and he gets confused sometimes.

Ive explained many times that this behaviour isnt appropriate but it just doesnt get through

any thoughts or ideas?

  • soo... ?

    what is the history between the neighbor and the 13yr old?

    have they ever engaged with each other before?

    Have you taken the child to other places, and when there, do they demonstrate the same behavior?

    Is the child's only outlet for curiosity and subject to focus on what they see around the house they live in?

    I'm trying to help.
