repetition

Post Reply New Topic

anyone here have a problem with repetition, someone or something making the same noise over and over again?

I don't want to ruin my daughter's TV enjoyment time but some of her shows drive me up a wall like Dora. She yells and repeats things so much that I want to heave the remote at the screen.

Just a word or a phrase or something skipping like a CD or record or a dog barking...

What especially gets me is the conga...12345 6, 12345 6, 12345 6 over and over and effing over again! What's the point?!?

I am pretty repetitive myself. I LOVE repetition. It calms me makes me happy and comfortable. I repeat phrases i have heard on movies or tvs, usually as conversational tools. I watch the same films repetitively. Listen to the same songs, draw similar objects, so on and so forth.

I have this problem, especially with commercials.

Repeating is fun but only to a piont and then its just like, enough already!

When I like something I love repetition but if it is something like repetition of a phone number in a commercial, I find it intolerable.

Repetition is a huge problem with me. I can easily relate. Some songs drive me nuts, tv, things my family does and then it irritates me instantly and I usually overreact. You'd think they would get that by now.

I like repetition, but certain repetitive noises make me want to smash things.

Repetition defines me. Patterns, routines, predictability. There is evolution, sometimes surprising mutations, of my behavior, but the core drive I seek always locks into repeating cycles. Of course all my comforting repetitions are self-engineered. Or they are work-related, and the work must suit me. The predictability of NT inanity and duplicity I find pretty irritating.

While may young children love repetition most Asperger's - really love it -- it and unusual speech and reading learning patterns are often were it first displays itself in young children. (My son spoke what we called "Trentonees" until about 39 or 40 month old then just like someone flip a switch in his head - he suddenly switch to a fairly complete and proper English.)

If your daughter really loves the repetition that these shows provide - it is time to start looking for the indications that she inherited your spectrum mind. If she has then you need to move to supporting her in this as quickly as possible. I have always wondered just how much more we could do had we had full support in our Aspers from very early in our life.

I do things the same way over and over a lot of the time. But I can't stand the same commercials being on all the time, or skipping records or CD's. I don't really mind repetitive songs too much, unless it's some really repetitive drum beat or something.
