Sometimes when I back talk my mom or something like that she takes away my cell phone or PSP of rubiks cube or soemthing like that. Partly because of my OCD like tendencies (which the doctor did say I had) and partly because of my anxiety I cant think of anything else except if my item that was taken away from me is getting broken. Right now my cell phone is in my moms possession and I want to punch the wall because I have these obsessive thoughts of my mom droppign my cell phone and braking it, or dropping it in water or something. Its so much worse for me when I get grounded from something than for any of my siblings. Life is hard for aspies!

I think you get upset when your cell phone is taken, because you and your friends are not able to instantly contact each other.

I'm kidding. That is what I think when I take a cell phone away and my teenage kid has a tantrum. During a calm time, I'll have to ask him what he thinks about when I take it. I think you should share your thoughts with your parents during a calm time too.

Maybe give up the battery instead of phone?

Thats a pretty good idea! But my parents use my fear of it breaking as a weapon against me. I dont think theyll admit it, but they have before.......
