[quote=Anonymous]Our 5 year-old DS has an ASD-1 diagnosis. He is currently very (VERY) interested in air conditioners - as in the AC units outside homes. He talks about ours constantly (Mom, do you think it’s on? Will it go off? Can I see it?) We do not let him go perseverate while staring at the fan inside the air conditioner, but if we did, I wouldn’t be surprised if he stayed there watching and stimming for 30+ mins or longer. It’s started to become more of an issue as it seems like he’s feeling compelled to see it and telling me things like, “my brain is saying I want to go look at it right now,” and he is acting out when I tell him he can’t go outside to see it. How would you handle this? Have you recieved professional guidance for how to approach this type of behavior? What’s the conventional wisdom?[/quote]
