Fast forward/rewinding Tv and dvds

Hi I’m a parent to a 6 year old boy with autism. 

He has started wanting to watch the tv or dvds he has on rewind of fast forward. He loves it, he’s bouncing! Arms are going and the joy is clear but when it stops or you turn it off, hell breaks out! 

Does anyone elses chidlren do this? Is it causing him any harm to watch it like this?

    I used to do it but with my parents vinyl collection. I caused quite a bit of damage to turntable belts and records. I was constantly in trouble! I think it was the way that sound could be manipulated that drew me in. The down point was when I was handed the collection there were quite a few scratches! At least no damage can be done!

    I think that there's no harm in it, it sounds like he might be getting some form of stim from it. I'd just keep in controlled so it doesn't become the norm. You don't want to be watching everything backwards!
