A friend of mine was recently diagnosed with autism and they've become addicted to World Of Warcraft. Its gotten to where its unbearable, literally bringing up the God forsaken game in every discussion, completely derailing it. People whom they've only known for a few hours refuse to interact with them again due to their constant spewing over it. Myself and another friend have simply tried changing the topic of course, sometimes forcibly, even going to the extent of calling them out on their compulsive behavior, but to no avail...They still continue.
If any of you have dealt with this kind of problem, any advice? I wish not to loose a friend over a stupid game.
Thank you so much for your input! its very helpful and I'll be sure to try that. Its hard to get her to budge off a topic because she's immensely stubborn and takes possible offense to it, so, pray for me.
