Object Attachment

Another sign of autism is object attachment and results in the child forming a relationship with an inanimate object. This could be a ball, a rock or something as simple as a fork. This object becomes an obsession and can take up most of their attention. This leads to the child being constantly distracted. If you notice that your child is forming an unhealthy bond with an object around the house, you may want to consult with your pediatrician. source by http://teachshark.com/
