[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 592355, member: 1550"] I have a memory of Sonic as a toddler doing exactly the same thing over, of all places, Chuckee Cheese. the only way to stop him at that age was to go to Chuckee Cheese. He also did this when he wanted a new videogame. He'd obsess all day, meltdown, make me want to scream by repeating "I want_________" over and over again. In Sonic's case it was part of his Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), which drove us buggy and we never did figure out what to do. We just let him wear it out because while you may try redirection, it never worked for Sonic. If he got something into his head, he was a bulldog. He never let it go. Worse, if we semi-gave in to have a quiet moment and said, "Chuckee Cheese is too far. How about McDonalds?" he would say, "No! It HAS to be Chuckee Cheese!" He really stood his ground...haha. The good news: He still obsesses as an adult, but never has meltdowns over it and I can tell him to please stop talking about the same thing over and over again and he will say, "Ooooops, sorry." And he will stop. There is hope. During the hard times, remember that it likely will not be this way forever and hang onto that thought! [/QUOTE]
