Guest guest Posted October 10, 2006 Report Posted October 10, 2006 Hi, My son 7 with AS has a weird thing about my livingroom lamp being plugged in. Everytime I go to turn on the lamp I find it's unplugged. At first, I thought it was the dog pulling on the cord or bumping into it. But, I caught him unplugging it. When I asked him why he does that he say's I just don't like that lamp plugged in. He say's he can't explain why he just dosn't like that one plugged in. Any of your children have weird little quirks like that? He is doing so well in his HF Autism class. Finally, some relief for both of us! Best Wishes to all! Quote
Guest guest Posted October 10, 2006 Report Posted October 10, 2006 When I read your message all I could think of was the little lamp that's the Pixar mascot, you know the one that hops around at the beginning of all their movies. Maybe he's trying to set it free! Ha! > > Hi, > > My son 7 with AS has a weird thing about my livingroom lamp being > plugged in.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2006 Report Posted October 11, 2006 Maybe the lamp emits sounds that bother your son. I have retired two lamps and three florecent light fixtures because I couldn't stand the whine, buzz or humm they emitted. No one else in my family noticed the noice, but it was enough to make me grind my teeth.

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2006 Report Posted October 28, 2006 I could write a book on quirks as I have two boys with HFA. I remember one " fun " quirk was when my oldest was about 3 and he decided that he didn't like the yellow lights on the Xmas tree that year. He couldn't talk at the time either. So who knows why. I just remember he would pull them out of their sockets. Little yellow bulbs would be found everywhere, I would fix them, they would mysteriously be gone again. Finally, the next year, we got all white lights and have had all white ever since. A few years ago, my now 17 yo asked why we can't have colored lights on the Xmas tree and I just fell over laughing, remembering the constant fixing from oh-so-long ago.
