[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 646990, member: 1550"] Oh, he'll work...lol. My son goes to work every day. And for those hours he isn't thinking about the videogames because he can't. But short of giving him a lobotomy, he isn't going to stop obsessing over videogames. They are a part of his disorder and who he is and if I ever stopped him from playing one game, he'd play another. If I had ever tried to remove his video systems he would have thrown a fit. That would be the only time or way. I just knew he needed them and I made sure he did do other activities. Never thought they were hurting him...he has Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Plus I'm not as obsessed over the videogame banning that some moms are...they're going to grow up and play games if they want to. We can't stop it. It won't stop them from living life. I'm sure my own parents thought I'd go blind, deaf, and brain dead from listening nonstop to "records." I had one favorite song, "My Sweet Lord" by George Harrison (R.I.P. George) and could stay in my room with the light off playing that record over and over and over again with the speakers by my ears. I overheard my mom telling my father, in a frantic voice, "She's on drugs! I know it! I know it! That's what they do when they're on drugs." I nevr took drugs...lol. Also, I remember my parents lamenting the sexual revolution and talking about how nobody would ever marry because "Men only marry to get the women in bed." Hey, times change. We can't stop it. Suggestion: My son's IEP says he finishes all his work in school in a special study hall. He never had homework. I"m not sure he would have been able to handle six hours of school then do more school at night, like neurotypical child can. It was a Godsend. [/QUOTE]
