Response Perseveration. I have a 20 year old son with PWS who started watching obnoxious KZitem channels a couple years ago (crazy paranormal fake stuff that he would take seriously) knowing we didn't want him to. He slowly proceeded to not only keep watching them, but turning the TV up *very loud* in the middle of the night. Almost like he wanted a confrontational response from us. We took away his PS4 almost 2 months ago. And, living with him since has been absolutely mad. He could drive the sane insane. He's began acting like he's possessed by witches. So much so that he yells at the fake witches. Everyone is a witch now if he asks to get on KZitem and you tell him no. It's also abuse to refuse him KZitem. I hear this all day. There's no redirecting him. He loved reading books growing up. Always loved a good story. Can't get him to read a book anymore. He used to love going outside to look for spiders. Can't get him to go outside anymore unless it is to go out to eat. Bought him a terrarium to house a spider (I finally gave into the idea of a pet spider) and he has no interest. He has taken the family hostage waiting for us to give him KZitem back. It's literally crazy! PWS children are so sweet when young. Then puberty hits and everything becomes confrontational, argumentive and combative. He went through public school and would have days where he would get in trouble and not accept the consequence for inappropriate behavior, shut down, and I'd have to go pick him up for the rest of the day. But, he'd be reset & ready to go the next day. Those days are gone. There is absolutely no way to redirect him anymore. Once his mind is stuck on something it's there until he doesn't want it there. The duck ramming his head into the wall repeatedly is a perfect representation of living with a PWS adult. For both the child & the parent lol. It's not funny, but I have to laugh.

Put them in a rubber room where they can't get hurt and only feed them 3 normal meals, and let them scream their heads off.
