Autistic Son Thinks He’s a Flock Camera

Autistic son (8 yo) wants to be a “flock camera”. It’s going too far. What to do? Behaviour My son is in the third grade, heavily autistic, and lately he has become obsessed with flock cameras. I don’t even know where he heard about them. But now he is convinced that he IS a flock camera, and I don’t know what to do about it. First of all, he refuses to go to school unless I let him wear his “uniform”. He has a GoPro which he duct tapes around his chest and a small solar panel (where did he find this???) which he holds above his head. His name is Lee, but he won’t respond to that anymore. Only “Condor”, which says is what the Flock cameras are named.

A Reddit-style parenting post describes an autistic eight-year-old boy named Lee who believes he is a Flock surveillance camera. He wears a GoPro taped to his chest, carries a small solar panel above his head, refuses school without his “uniform,” and answers only to “Condor.” The joke comes from treating a child’s imaginative obsession with vehicle-mounted security cameras as an increasingly elaborate identity crisis, making the situation absurdly serious.
