I don't knwk why I'm posting on here but I know you all probably have the same things going on at home. My Ds is driving me crazy , he talks in stop about Star Wars, I mean non stop, we went out for dinner he talked non stop to me about star wars I couldn't have a conversation with my daughter i couldn't chose my food from the menu I couldn't even order it when the waiter came over as he was in my face telling me about Star Wars. We get home and he's still going on we get to bed and he's still going on, 4 bloody hours of it. I had to walk out of his room as part way through I broke down and cried I just can't take him anymore, it's sounds silly but he just won't shut up. I ignore him he starts again he gets angry he swears at me he swears at me Inpublic and with family he listens to no one he Doesn't care what anyone else thinks.
He has to do what he wants to do and that's all he sees he won't stop building his lego or rewinding tv if he has too he is so hard to bare. Sorry to rant i will be ok soon .

I have a DSD with ASD and she doesn't usually talk about one thing for ages- she can't keep to one topic very long actually- but she will go through periods of incessantly trying to show you she can do something totally unremarkable- like jumping or making a funny sound etc and want you to watch every detail or she has to start again, and then do another thing and another thing, and she will want to show you while you are cooking dinner or something where you can't watch for long...
She will also ask you every question possible about what you are doing if you are doing or have done something she doesn't know about say on the computer, especially if it's a game. The other day I was playing a game (that she would not be able to play), and it literally got to the point where I had to stop playing so she would stop as I didn't want to be mean and shout at her, but any distraction technique wasn't working, she'd act as if I hadn't even mentioned the distraction, it went like this: why is that thing black? because thats how the designer made it, why don't you play with that toy? oh, why are there people walking there? cos they want to, where's your pens and paper why don't you draw the people? oh, what level are you on? and so on and so on.... it is draining and she doesn't even do this all the time, most of the time we can have a proper conversation so I admire anyone who manages to put up with the same topic all the time!

I'm a student mental health nurse and on my last placement at the crisis team, one person (who had asd) phoned us to complain of a crisis and he sounded a lot like pawmints sister- he spent about half an hour telling me how he goes to a coffee shop every day and he met a much older woman there who he sometimes speaks to, he had a hair cut, then she ignored him next time she saw him, and ignored him again at the pub... and the whole half an hour he was asking what I thought, did what he last said to her upset her, etc etc despite reassurance that she probably didn't recognise him and attempts to ask about his new flat or his mum or anything else, he was like a stuck record!

Dd1 talks non stop about pokemon, I often shut off because I havn't got a clue what she's on about and I have no interest in pokemon ( sounds mean), she will talk all day and night, she even talks whilst playing it on he ds ( she let she very one know exactly wha she's doing and what pokemon she has found).

Dd2 just talks to herself but also talks about the same topic ( moshi monsters) all day, luckily she doesn't expect me or anyone else to listen apart from she has discovered a game online which she wants me to play with her ( over and over ).
