[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He is exactly like that and fights with his older brother for the same reasons. The oldest is tired of this dynamic as well. Is your son also autistic?[/quote] Yes, both are autistic but older DS is much more easygoing and is willing to tolerate a lot but eventually will reach his limit. Younger DS, who is really rigid and inflexible, and used to be an animal a lot of the time or sometimes something else such as a construction vehicle, has a diagnosis of demand avoidance/PDA and the extreme make-believe is a part of that diagnosis. We didn't put limits on it or require him to be human sometimes. It was often easier to deal with the lion or the truck than the boy. This may not be anything like your situation - I'm just describing our family.[/quote]
