[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 58577, member: 1550"] I think limiting phone time is fine. I'd do that myself. However, I don't think you can actually make a spectrum kid forget about his obsession and think about something else. It will be on his mind, even if he isn't talking about it. I've tried in vain to get my son distracted into other things and interests and it always goes back to his games...lol. Not saying you shouldn't try just because it doesn't work for me, but in my Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) Parent Group we spend a lot of time laughing about the kid's and their obsessions and how they can focus on their obsession ad nauseum and how hard/impossible it is to make them think about something else. The kids are simply wired so differently than typical kids. If you find a way to get him out of hit, let me know and I'll try it on mine!
