incomprehensible behavior: adjusting items

Post Reply New Topic

My son is 15 years old. They diagnosed with autistic traits and disorders of contact. Speech does not occur. There is incomprehensible behavior. Adjusting items. There is no rule. All items (even ones that were always in the same location) are transferred. Example: hiding objects into one room, fix, set a high chest (rearranges, sits down, gets up, improves). If something can not move, there is aggression.
Does anyone has met with such behavior?

Yes, I know someone who likes to move objects and furniture often.
Also non-verbal, so no one knows for sure why.
Possibly OCD, or possibly because it is fun and stimulating to do this.

Hmm, maybe it could also be that the moving of things from one place to another has become something of a comfortable routine, something that he is completely in control of, which is also comforting in what is otherwise often a chaotic world. Which may also explain why he might get frustrated when he cant move something, as it is then outside of his control.

Just a theory, mind you. Wouldnt know how you could tell for sure.
