Obsessive Behavior in Autism
Tuesday Tip – Child obsessed with an object
If a child is obsessed with an object, remove it from his sight.
That is the best way to handle a “problem object,” especially if it
affects the quality of life.
One more step is to think about why he was so obsessed with that
object. What purpose did it accomplish? What need did it meet?
What qualities about that object created the obsession?
Answering a few question may help avoid future obsessions.
Analyzing the situation can lead to finding objects or activities that meet needs better.
