Aspergers Kids Discipline (Anxiety Meltdowns Weird Humor)

Children with Asperger's need to be treated a little differently; with certain things kept in mind. I talk a little about anxiety attacks, being literal, and their eccentric senses of humor. This video was made due to a request.

My mom would often arrange for playdates with other kids and I would always just ditch them and go play by myself in my room. I never wanted friends to begin with. I just found them boring and wanted to just do things about my obsessions. My obsessions are my friends.

[SillyGayBoy]

@misspinkpunkykat I really like your idea of your obsessions being your friends. It was the same for me; as long as I could play video games I was okay. That may be worth making a video about for me.

[misspinkpunkykat]

@SillyGayBoy You should make that video! I always found video games too hard and perfered games like Sims where you don't have to play someone else's storyline. My newest obsession is Sonic the Hedgehog, but I got into it via the cartoons, not the games.

[SillyGayBoy]

@misspinkpunkykat I didn't realize there were still cartoons of that on TV but I loved the Sonic games as a kid and even as an adult. Yeah video games were my drug of choice all throughout growing up. Having friends wasn't really something I cared much about or going out; as long as I could play video games I was happy. That may be important to talk about. Other boys can be obsessed with video games too but I don't think to the extent I was. Thanks for the encouragement.

@misspinkpunkykat Made the video it's up now currently titled "Video games & Aspergers" thanks very much for the encouragement it gives me the push I need; as I have many ideas and I'm not sure which to do first.

@mc21atc Every person is different but I would guess he would like something that would have a real practical use to it, something that he has said he likes. For Christmas people often give really random stuff and I'm not sure if that would be appreciated. If he's like me; we want all our things to have a purpose.

[SillyGayBoy]

@mc21atc A lot of people with Asperger's do not want help and may act like they want it or they may not look like they want it at all. A lot of people with AS are seen as lacking empathy or emotions or blame others for their problems. Looks like you know what he may want for a present like an author or food he likes. A support group would help and there are online ones and I talk to people on YouTube with AS all the time. I just go to Autism meetings once a month so let me know about good ones.

[mc21atc]

@SillyGayBoy Yeah he says he just wants food but I just wish would enjoy reading a book or do something relaxing but he just watches TV all day and is completely lonely...PS...I just found out that he had a meltdown with his sister and just burned the last family bridge he had left :( I'm afraid he will be lonely for the rest of his life! Do you think a support group would help him or do you recommend anything like that?? Thank you for your reply.
