Guest guest Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 Hi minna, I don't know if my experiences with this are " helpful " or not-- I sometimes listen to the same song over and over. More, I will SING the same song over and over. I think it can be a kind of " stim " for me, since it kind of blocks out social things and interacting and all that. I've done it since I was a young kid. I may have started doing it when I went to a new school and didn't know how to " get along " or make friends=== I remember walking around singing to myself a lot. (I don't know if I did it before that or not.) Anyway, the part with repeating the SAME song is that it will be a song that seems important or meaningful to me and I'll just go over it again and again=== sometimes just one particular PART. I have to be careful though, as if I do this " too much " then I can accidentally " over do it " and the result is that I will " ruin " the song so that it is boring in the future! Like I said, I don't know if this adds anything new to what you have already said or already thinking. best, Moria > The ONLY thing he does for fun is Disney > computer books and Disney movies.

Sometimes this happens to me when I try to understand something... something that I KNOW is there, but I can't put my finger on it, so to speak. And I keep trying and trying until I get really aggravated and feel like screaming and throwing away anything I happen to have in my hand Maybe he's just trying to understand something better.
