These were not caused by trauma and she is not interest in them for violence for some reason she is just really interested in them. She has also always been obsessed with chemistry, making her own little experiments with anything she could find. Though recently she has taken a very strong liking to Harry Potter.. though she has only read about it online and studied it we’re getting her the books as she keeps nonstop asking for them Kyrahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05064099333232575920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527055659904040434.post-73778954442179291892020-04-12T21:33:46.268-07:002020-04-12T21:33:46.268-07:00I'm a caregiver of a teenage girl called Rita ...I'm a caregiver of a teenage girl called Rita with autism, sensory processing disorder, diabetes, depression, anxiety, hearing loss and vision loss. She's obsessed with Klasky Csupo! If that name doesn't sound familiar, they're the people who created Rugrats on Nickelodeon. When she gets upset, I put on a Klasky Csupo logo history video and she'll calm right down. Every time she sees their logo, she makes a happy sounding noise. Every time she sees one of their shows or logos, she'll happily say "KLASKY CSUPO!" This obsession started recently and has helped her through a really rough depressive state. It's indescribable how happy it makes me and her family that she found something that makes her so happy in Klasky Csupo <br /><br />Every time we watch Rugrats, she wants me to pause the opening credits so she can see Arlene Klasky and Gabor Csupo's names. She loves their shows and everything about them. She likes watching Rugrats and Aaahh!!! Real Monsters, both created by Klasky Csupo. I'm going to introduce another show created by them soon, so she'll have three. <br /><br />Klasky Csupo has encouraged her to draw more, she loves to imitate their art style. She also pretends to be Arlene Klasky and will make up several drawings of their shows. I love that they've encouraged her imaginative, creative side! We do go along and call her Arlene Klasky when she's in this "pretending mode". <br /><br />The thing I love most is Klasky Csupo makes her feel good about herself, they shown her it's okay to be different and that she's beautiful the way she is. If this obsession encourages her to be proud of herself, use her imagination and be creative- then I hope Klasky Csupo stays for a long time! <3<br /><br />Best wishes,<br />Stella Stellanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527055659904040434.post-43581731308146845932018-02-06T04:50:49.942-08:002018-02-06T04:50:49.942-08:00My 12 year old child is so obsessed with generator...My 12 year old child is so obsessed with generators. It started when she was in 6th grade while learning how generators work in their science class. Everytime she sees generators she gets very excited. She would ask me if I could buy her one. She makes craft generators made of foams every single day. She gets loud if she sees generators around construction areas, behind buildings ,food stands. <br />Jeniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03032473143525898012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527055659904040434.post-42271770719039491422017-07-02T09:31:18.167-07:002017-07-02T09:31:18.167-07:00Has any one dealt with a 10 yr old boy who seems l...Has any one dealt with a 10 yr old boy who seems like he's unhealthy obsessed with mom Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05395265448945382793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527055659904040434.post-24970894098796443622016-06-28T09:44:52.610-07:002016-06-28T09:44:52.610-07:00Hi Missourimom!

I I think I become centered around certain characters that have the same personality as me, so it's kind of like being centered around "a person". I am 15 years old and I have aspergers! I like mystery shows like Murdoch Mysteries and Criminal Minds because I can relate to a certain character from that shiw. I have loved shows like this ever since I was younger. I become obsessed with a certain character and I read everything about them and I watch every episode. I also like Elementary. I read every Sherlock Holmes books, too. I also like to collect silly things like shells, coins from different countries, and Pokemon cards.I don't think you should worry, unless she starts to think that she IS him because she's not.

Right now, it is guns and knives. This scares me a little. How do I know if this will last or if this is a bad obsession? He is a very kind boy who has more empathy than anyone I know. I know he won't intentionally hurt anyone and I know he has a very large imagination. How do I let him have his outlet of the love of guns and knives in a safe way? My husband and I have different opinions on this. I wouldn't choose to deny him of his love of certain weapons, but I would like to incorporate right and wrong of the weapons. He likes any plastic play guns and plastic knives. He loves to pretend he is in the army. Or he is shooting zombies. lol. My husband doesn't want people to think he is going to be THE kid who does school shootings. My son is a very unique and kind hearted aspergers child whose mind is beyond our comprehension. Video games, guns, and knives are his interest right now. I think we should be able to help him in his outlet by letting him learn the safe ways and right and wrong ways of using these things.

He can tell you what kind of rims are on the wheels, can identify transports when they are just dots on the horizon to me. <br />The only time he's ever been unable to identify a tractor, was when we were visiting France when he was about 10 and he saw a Peugeot, which we don't have in our region of Canada. He knows if someone has changed the headlights on their car. Is never wrong! <br />A friend made " John Deere" placemats and napkins for him. I tease him sometimes and put the placemat with the tractor pictures facing upside down. I know he's not feeling well if he fails to right the placemat. ( Otherwise he won't say if he doesn't feel well, we have to guess.)
