I'm not sure if I'm understanding you correctly. You mean your son asks the same repetitive questions, and needs them answered the same way every time? My son does that. He used to be really bad, I mean REALLY bad. Almost everything that came out of his mouth was a script of some kind, and he expected you to answer him accordingly. Does your son do this to other people, ie: at school, and in social settings? If he's only doing it at home, and with people close to him I'd say just answer his question, and let him be happy. For some people with ASD asking the same questions, and getting the same answers offers a feeling of safety, and comfort. My son tends to like things that will not change, it's always the same, it's static. That's okay with me. I like things like that too. If it makes him feel safe, I'll spell the word oatmeal 50 times a day. He doesn't want to talk about his day, or his fav sports team. He just wants to exchange facts, and make sure that they're all still the same as he thought they were. The way I see it is that enough people are going to get annoyed at him for just being him, I'm sure not going to be one of them. I say, embrace your sons quirks.
