[QUOTE="buddy, post: 498450, member: 12886"] OH yes, I do the same. He then says hockey and wrestling are ok because they are sports, but he likes to just look up the fights and crashes etc. on you tube. so I have blocked all of the channels he uses, he can only get on internet on his samsung player if I am right next to him (except for facebook, I unlocked that because it is really my account he doesn't know the passwords so I can see every single thing he says and does....some of it is actually insightful so I am keeping it open for now). I too block things on tv, ratings, and content and channels. I also have specific shows blocked like wrestling and boxing and extreme fighting etc. (of course the home shopping channel too since he ordered those things thru cable, sigh) I think it is an obsession, part of their Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) they get so stuck on their high interest and my friend who has two, one fully autstic and one Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified...and he is the one with the worst social skills, also goes for the more aggressive stuff. they do the same. block things. I used to think this must be the attachment stuff for Q but I have talked to so so SO many families who have kids on the spectrum whose kids do this in some form. and I think it is a "normal" interest (obviously, so many do it and it makes money because of fans) but our kids are too obsessive and do not know how to regulate their emotions and urges etc. So for them it is a terrible choice. And at first, when we change the rules they DO get worse... it is like giving up any habit or addiction in a little way, it is maddening and frustrating and desperation sets in. Since part of their issue is it is nearly impossible to stop obsessing, I think it is natural they would have an even harder time quitting and do even more fussing than a neuro-typical kid. So, my vote, yes be the STRICT BAD MOMMY ... (ummmm...NOT! it is being a GREAT mom, doing the hard thing and preventing a problem. It is being proactive and helpful in the long run) Just MHO! I can SOOOO relate. [/QUOTE]
