[quote=Anonymous]OP, A social skills group might help. We had a friend who's elementary aged kid had an obsession, and he would launch into the topic with anyone and everyone pretty much non-stop. It did hurt him socially. He did a social skills class, and he learned to ask someone if they wanted to hear about the topic. They were working on the give and take of conversation, e.g., listening to the other person's interest. You may want to consider behavioral therapy to help him not perseverate on a topic, rewarding him when he's able to have more back and forth conversations. I'd also consider him joining an hobby group for things that he's interested in so there's an appropriate outlet too.[/quote]
