[QUOTE="buddy, post: 511420, member: 12886"] that is so interesting DF! I have the opposite....We could have three free hours and Q will want to do so much that he can't even enjoy when he gets somewhere. It is just like his collecting...has to just do it/have it. So, we can go somewhere, he walks in and ta da! he can say he went there...nevermind enjoying the place, looking around. Just worried about being on to the next thing. If it is a place like the zoo, we can go up to an animal and all the kids are wanting to watch for a while and he is on to the next thing because what if we dont get to see it ALL? That is why we have to have task lists and schedules....so he knows there are limits and time lines...it is ok to change it but we make sure it still fits in because we could run around all over the place. This kid will see that a formerly empty building has a new sign..and it can be a dumb beauty supply store or pottery store or whatever..... but he has to go check it out HE misses NOTHING. Panic over not doing everything in a day. WHY do they have to live in extremes??? Do one thing or do a bunch of things....or panic! (rhetorical question but honestly, it is pretty interesting and extreme when I look at it like this...before your post I think I hadn't really thought about how different it was, just is part of the life that has evolved here) [/QUOTE]
