This is more of a question really but also a sharing of my experience.
Do any of your kids collect. *Little treasures*?
I ask because of our 3 boys on the Autism Spectrum, both Gavin and Elliott have a history of *collecting*.
Well actually, in Gavin's case, it's more like *hoarding. *Gavin will *hoard* all the Lego's, Hot Wheels and stuffed animals.
In Elliott's case, he *collects* these *little treasures*.
These *little treasures* are usually, odd little trinkets that have broken off of other toys.
From what I understand, this is a way of him exerting control over his life, and to be completely honest, he has very little control over his life otherwise.
I was just wondering if anyone else sees this type of behavior? He's not stealing or anything like that. These are just small and otherwise unwanted little things.
I appreciate any and all feedback... :-)
