[quote=Anonymous]My elementary school-aged child is often in character from a favorite movie or show. At times they are scripting like echolalia but also full-body acting out a scene. I love this vibrant inner world and the joy it brings them but at times it feels like I can’t actually get through to them. It’s frustrating to feel like I’ve lost my child for an hour or even sometimes on and off a full day. A few times I’ve even found myself calling their name and saying “come back to me!” At times they even “act” dangerously, such as jumping up on a table or kicking someone because it was in the movie. We’ve told them that they are still them and the rules don’t change just because they are acting. I believe they only do this at home and not at school. Has anyone else experienced this? Would love any advice here! [/quote]
