My son is 4 he attends a specialist school which he seems to be enjoying. He isn’t using any form of communication atm. When his home he wants the tv on which isn’t a problem but he constantly wants it changed he becomes extremely frustrated when not done quick enough I’ve gone every programme or song I know he likes but sometimes not good enough he then grabs and scratches me. He is also very annoyed with anyone who touches there own face and will try to throw you out of the sitting room.
I’m not much help but my son is 2 years old and has the same thing with the TV. He is non-verbal so can’t express what he wants and just brings you the remote, you put it on then he brings it you again to change it. This goes on for longer than I like to mention and he also gets frustrated. I struggle to be able to assist with this so my only suggestion is distraction if it’s possible. I get his cars out and blocks, start lining up and usually he will join in.
Also he has a tablet that he is obsessed with however I did try to limit but found that he’s actually developing in ways I couldn’t imagine he would eg being able to identify numbers and show you when requested, match colours. I now look to the positives of it. If this is how my child learns and it’s actually having a positive impact I won’t try to limit quite as much. However I do like to have plenty of time to work on social skills so finding something to do together is the other option.
Im probably no help but if any of this gives you piece of mind that something you can be ok to allow then I’ll be happy with that
