My 2y7month old ASD boy has a new obsession. He runs to my bed and starts jumping up and down and gets very upset if I try to take him off. At the beginning I thought it looked like fun and a nice way to spend some energy. He learned fast and his jumps are getting higher and higher. It also helped him learn how to jump up and down on the floor. But I'm getting a bit concerned with the behaviour as it might be stopping him from doing other more "educational" activities.
I also wonder if he needs those moments as a self-regulating thing or if maybe it's just a phase and he's really into it so I shouldn't be too worried about it.
Any similar experiences? Any thoughts on this? How often should I intervene?
Thanks
