[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure why this is a problem for you.  It's annoying but I haven't found Aspie obsessions any more annoying than people who constantly talk about baseball, football, their work, etc or any other stuff I have zero interest in.

Since this is for a trip, let him enjoy the planning and excitement for something he is looking forward too.  If you don't want to hear about it, set a limit - he is only allowed five mentions to you everyday.[/quote]

You have clearly not seen what it can do to a child (or adult) socially.  Its is a problem and i think OP expresses the tension admirably.

Five mentions seems pretty extreme.  You could try a "only in the house" rule.

Did you know there's such a thing as train camp?  I believe its in Scranton, PA, and well populated by kids with AS.[/quote]

Actually, I have.  They have to "get it out" so better me or other family members than peers who will react negatively.  DS has peers who share his obsession so it works out.  Better them than me.  But if no one is around, I've learned to show interest within limits like with obsessive sports fans.  I agree.  It's painful.
