my obsession was hair loss (specifically androgenic alopecia) and losing hair. despite having no hairloss (a thick norwood 1) i researched all the meds, got on finasteride, looked into new treatments and read the studies about DHT etc.
also i don't shave my beard, i pluck out all my beard hairs every sunday. it takes me an hour or two so i put on a documentary while i do it. as i hate the feeling of hairs on my neck, the itchy feeling irritates me greatly. plucking them out means i don't have to shave during the week and i also hate the dry / itchy feeling of shaving.
i am 32 and work full time and i don't think i have autism however, i've never been diagnosed with it.

I used to have a technician who was my subordinate, he had an 18 year old daughter and he had to restrict what she could watch as she had severe autism. If she watched swearing, she would repeat it anywhere. She also developed a habit of taking her clothes off all of the time. (not a sexual thing, she didn't seem interested in boys at all)
Her main interest on Youtube though was videos for 3-5 year olds, something about ponies I think he said.
In the end it became too much and he had to resign from the job to look after her full time, she ended up being put on a strong benzodiazipine too.

But how are you going to stop your son looking at Call of Duty videos? Surely his friends at school will all be playing Call of Duty? Have you heard of Fortnite, all the kids where I work are playing fortnite now

About the swearing. My brother who is on the ASD spectrum, he learnt to swear from others and he doesn't know when's appropriate. We had to limit swearing around him so he stopped

I don't think you need to explain why Andy's not allowed to watch that video. Swearing is wrong and I am with you on that.
