My son, Ben, who is autistic and aged 16 is verbally repetitive. He will repeat a phrase constantly and I have to repeat it. I have tried different strategies such as saying it once and holding my finger to my ear but it doesn't stop him. Ben decides when to stop. He is a weekly residential pupil at a school for autistic children and he comes home at the weekend. He is vocally repetitive at the school and at the house. He is very repetitive when he is under some stress such as when he returns to the school on a Sunday night but he is also repetitive when he isn't under stress. Unfortunately, he has learnt ambiguous language and he repeats a lot of these phrases. He has had a very difficult 3 years but he is doing very well at present apart from the verbal repetition. Does any one have any tips to help Ben and his family cope. |
