Perseveration: Repetitive Thinking and Behavior

[@k.polanchekfntp8033]

Best part: wide range of pleasurable activities. I'm 51 with severe perseverating and think it has a lot to do with being bored.

Karen Polanchek, FNTP You sound like someone I could have a lot of fun with! 😉

[@joshl2454]

pretty rare to get so much actionable information in such a succinct presentation. You're a badass dr Monkarash.

[@CantWeedThis]

You are perseverating about perseveration.

Thanks for sharing this video. You did a great job of explaining perseveration and I could hear more of it. It looks differently in an adult than a child, but strategies for understanding it and re-directing it are always helpful.

I have HFA and the worst part of my childhood was when I was told I needed to take breaks from my obsessions/special intrests.

[@feliznavidad4846]

I finally have a word to describe my extreme attachment to random actions

[@passthetunaporfavor]

I had a relative with dementia who would complain about the same thing for hours on end.

[@misspinkpunkykat]

I know. But no one tries that crap with me anymore since I'm an adult.

perseveration is a persistent repetition of words beyond their relevance ..occurs in dementia and schizophrenia

Yeah and if that's not working? I mean, i have my characters and shift ragularly to them.. but as soon as i also forget my own intentions.. it's minimum a 3-6h fight regardless or hunger or other urges.
