I have noticed in the last few weeks that my son is asking to make changes around the house.
First it was the position of his bed. He really wanted to change his room around, so we did. The first few nights were a bit tough with him adjusting but he was adamant on keeping it in the new spot.
Then he wanted all of us to change spots at the dinning table. He went to Daddy's seat and daddy went to his seat and so on.
The very next day he sat in his old seat and has on the rare occasion remembered that he was suppose to change seats, which is no big deal.
But I am wondering if this is normal for him to challenge himself with some changes. He has usually always been ok with change, but has always had a hard time with transitions like from going back to school after a long break, moving house and so on.

People with AS are not oblivious to their difficulties and certainly their comes a time when many of us get so fed up with our inability to cope with something that we usually do attempt to do something about it.

What would be unusual about your son is that he is doing it at what I am assuming is a young age. I think this is a very positive thing.
