[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 245274, member: 1233"] My son has Asperger's and now at 17 is oding very well. But we had HUGE issues with guns/violence and his obsession with them. From very very early he wanted those action figures. He would ditch the figure and play with the weapon that came with the figure. Every time. At one point we had to go and pull EVERY video with even a HINT of violence (includes most Disney videos) because he kept trying to act them out. Games in our home have to be not only E rated but prescreened by a parent to make sure they truly were nonviolent, not just less violent. Screen what you need to, don't apologize for keeping things from him, the "everyone else gets to" argument is no more true now than it was when we used it on our parents. You may want to consider looking to see if he has some aspect of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) - my son obsessed on guns/weapons/violence for a sadly long time. Thank heaven it is past. My son is TERRIFIED of real guns, and will NOT have anything to do with one. But he could make ANYTHING a weapon. I wish you luck. [/QUOTE]
