Fascination with water refers to a strong, often irresistible attraction or preoccupation with water, including activities such as watching, touching, splashing, or playing in water. This behavior is commonly observed in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), where it may serve as a form of sensory stimulation or self-soothing activity. The visual and tactile properties of water, such as its movement, sound, and feel, can be particularly appealing to individuals with sensory processing differences. In some cases, fascination with water might also be linked to anxiety, where water activities provide a calming effect or a sense of control. For others, it may be a preferred activity due to the predictability and repetitive nature of water play.
Treatment for fascination with water focuses on understanding the underlying reasons for the behavior and ensuring safety. In individuals with ASD, providing structured and supervised opportunities to engage with water in a safe environment can help meet sensory needs while preventing unsafe behavior around open water sources. Occupational therapy can be beneficial for addressing sensory processing issues and teaching appropriate ways to interact with water. Behavioral interventions, such as applied behavior analysis (ABA), may also help in redirecting inappropriate or unsafe behaviors and reinforcing safe, appropriate engagement with water. For those with anxiety or using water as a calming mechanism, therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) can help manage anxiety and develop alternative coping strategies. It is crucial for caregivers and educators to be vigilant around water and to implement safety measures, such as teaching water safety skills and using barriers around pools. Consulting with healthcare professionals can provide guidance on managing this behavior effectively and ensuring the individual's safety and well-being.
