Guest guest Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 My son is 27. He has his ongoing obsessions, which I attribute to the Autism. Sometimes, the obsessions last for years, sometimes for months, or maybe a day. His current obsession (for months) has been saying " Barkley - The Dog " . I tried everything. Searching for videos, buying DVD's, getting him on the Sesame Street website. It was suggested that I go on YOU-TUBE and pull up Barkley-clips. Sure enough...he kept searching until he found the clip where MARIA gets frustrated with Barkley and his barking & whining. says:'It must be frustrating to be the only dog on Sesame Street when no one can understand you. I wonder what it would be like to be the only human in a world full of dogs'. He plays this clip over & over and it breaks my heart. He points to his chest while watching these video clips. It makes me cry for my son. He is SO smart and has to try to get along in this world. He has a sister a year older and a brother a year younger and watches them living their lives and he is STUCK here with the parents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
