[quote=Anonymous]For my Aspie, talking about his special interests helps keep him calm. Yes, it is typically annoying. Nothing like being on a cruise ship listening to him try to explain to others why the Titanic sank (they didn't find it calming). I try to use his special interest to practice other skills. So we go to the library so he can learn how to do research. We practice reading, which he normally hates but can tolerate if it's about ships or aircraft. We do math problems designed around the interests- if there are XXX people on the ship and each lifeboat holds 50 people, how many lifeboats do you need? For him, it is anxiety and right now, we try whatever works. Good luck OP. Have you tried having him keep a journal of his trip plans? Maybe make a before and after scrapbook.[/quote]
