All of you who speak of your son's and their obsession with WWII are exactly what I experienced with my son. His obsession to learn everything he can about the war, only led me to the thought of someone who died during the war, and came back to discover what the outcome of the war was. The soul had to come back to try and make sense of all the death and misery of himself and his comrades. <br />Am I way off, or have others thought the same?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02998469400483163033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527055659904040434.post-32566817363408792302020-01-07T01:24:38.400-08:002020-01-07T01:24:38.400-08:00Wow.....

My son is 8 years old in 2nd grade, has been tested Gifted with high IQ and Asperger's and OBSESSED WITH WWII as well! <br />Depending on the state you live in, I'd say you need to push for the autism label along side the gifted label. He will be a 2e student and can get speech/social skills accommodations in school....<br />The best of luck to you and your son.

He is 7 and has been into the military for a few years. He is also having some issues with disrespect with us and we are concerned that the love for war could get him in trouble at school. (He has already been in trouble for drawing soldiers and guns, etc.) Hopefully since this is an old post someone could let me know how this obsession turned out.HinkyImport.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08163294293833763324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527055659904040434.post-55178701260391580212012-01-09T20:44:26.560-08:002012-01-09T20:44:26.560-08:00My 11 yr old son loves planes and esp WWII.

Has dabbled in WWl some, knows way more than I ever learned about in school. Even debated with my father on the Korean war. This conversation ended with my father throwing up his hands saying "son, I was there!!" <br />When he speaks about a subject of interest, it sounds as if he is reading directly from a textbook. High iq, in gifted classes, amazing vocabulary, but HATES school!

He too became obsessed with WWII history, planes etc around the age of 4. He now has a collection of almost 200 planes and we have recently redone his bedroom to resemble WWII theme including a F4U Corsair ceiling fan. I plan to paint a wall mural for him this winter when life calms down a bit. We travel alot to visit the Wright Patterson AF Base Museum in Dayton, Ohio a lot. <br /><br /> Please feel free to look me up on facebook.http://www.facebook.com/cfilipkowskiCherylhttp://www.facebook.com/cfilipkowskinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527055659904040434.post-40655465641168530162011-11-08T09:42:04.353-08:002011-11-08T09:42:04.353-08:00My 14-year old Aspie was obsessed with Medieval hi...My 14-year old Aspie was obsessed with Medieval history a few years ago, which took many forms from reading to archery and is now centered on Dungeons and Dragons playing, as well as reading and writing about it.

When you ask a child with such in depth understanding a seemingly simple, shallow question, the answer they give is normally wrong according to the teacher's answer key. But the kid isn't giving the wrong answer, they are working on a much higher level, usually a college level... It can be frustrating, especially if the teacher only has a primary education in the subject.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527055659904040434.post-34220675479259689922011-11-08T07:25:03.209-08:002011-11-08T07:25:03.209-08:00My daughter is the same . except her constant and ...My daughter is the same . except her constant and I mean constant conversation is every fact in the world about Miley Cyrus and it's over and over until I want to screamAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527055659904040434.post-31514740773739679832011-11-08T07:24:55.967-08:002011-11-08T07:24:55.967-08:00My son is, too.

He ...Yes, I have a son that is obsessed with WWII. He is 17 now and was assessed in preschool after he built a very close resemblence of the Titanic out of building blocks. Doctors speculated that he had Aspergers, but I did not go through with the testing that they wanted to do on him (brain mapping, etc.) My son started focusing on WWII and started collecting books on the topic and talked all the time. He collected books on everything from the ships, to the airplanes and the battles themselves. The other odd thing he was into was into listening to speeches of important individuals, like the president at a young age. He had some oddities in middle school and had some trouble making friends, but now in High School is blossoming like crazy. He takes accelerated "honor" classes and took college classes as a sophomore in High School. The funny thing was that in middle school, my son was on the talented and gifted program and asked to be taken off of it. When I asked why he said that it bored him. <br /><br />I guess what I am saying is stay on the school. The worst thing you can do is let your son get bored in school, because it could go the other direction. If he isn't challenged in school he may start daydreaming and focusing on other things and pretty much not care about his classes. <br /><br />As my son became older he shifted some of his focus to music. He plays many different instruments and even composes some of his own music. He is also now talking about joining the military and I couldn't be more proud of him. He is going to use the WWII focus to help him have a career in the military. My best advise is work with your son - help with the social part of it and direct the obsessive part.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527055659904040434.post-11016301236359478272011-04-16T22:41:26.401-07:002011-04-16T22:41:26.401-07:00Excellent work done.
