“He Asked, ‘Are We Going To Grandma’s House?’
I Said, ‘Yes.’
Two Minutes Later — He Asked Again.
Then Again.
Then 12 More Times In The Next Hour.”
Parth, 5 years old, was curious — at least that’s what they thought.
But then:
- He asked the same questions about things already answered.
- Repeated every “why” even after it was explained.
- Became agitated if his questions were ignored.
- Melted down when asked not to ask.
“We thought he was being difficult.
Then obsessive.
Then annoying.
Until we realized — he was terrified.”
🧠 When Repeated Questions = Anxiety, Not Curiosity
At Pinnacle® jaipur (Malviya Nagar), behavior therapists explain:
“Repetitive questioning, also called perseveration, is a common sign in autism —
but not because the child doesn’t understand the answer.
They ask again because the answer is how they feel safe.”
Clinical signs of perseverative questioning:
- Asking the same thing despite already knowing the answer
- Fixating on a single topic or person (e.g., “Is grandma coming?”)
- Escalating distress if interrupted or redirected
- Using questions to self-soothe during transition or anxiety
- Emotional meltdown if not answered exactly the same way
“It’s not testing boundaries.
It’s trying to rebuild predictability — in a world that feels unpredictable.”
📞 The Day They Couldn’t Answer One More Time
Before school:
- Parth asked: “Will you pick me up?”
- “Yes, beta.”
- Five minutes later: “But you’ll really come, right?”
- “Yes.”
- At school drop-off: He screamed, clung, sobbed — and asked again.
“That’s when we realized —
he wasn’t asking to know.
He was asking to calm his panic.”
They called 9100 181 181.
The counselor said:
“He’s not confused.
He’s caught in an emotional loop.
Let’s give him new ways to find security.”
They booked a free AbilityScore©® Behavior Screening.

🤖 How TherapeuticAI©® Helped Him Ask Less — And Feel More Secure
His therapy focused on replacing repetition with regulation.
Plan included:
- Visual schedule boards: “What’s next, and what time”
- “Asked and answered” reinforcement with emotion validation
- Safe phrase substitutions (“I’m nervous” instead of “Are we going?”)
- Breathing, tapping, or squeeze toy when urge to ask arises
- Parent coaching: calm repetition → reduction → autonomy
By week 5:
- Parth asked once — then pointed to the schedule
- Used his “I feel worried” card instead of repeating
- Whispered “Okay” after hearing the answer — just once
- Gave his teacher a note that read: “Please remind me softly.”
“He didn’t stop needing reassurance.
But he learned where to find it — and how to ask in a way that freed him.”
💬 What His parents Say Now
“We used to get frustrated.
Now we feel humbled.
Because every question wasn’t irritation —
it was a cry for certainty, when his world gave him none.
And Pinnacle® gave him answers that finally worked.”
