My second son (autism spectrum/Asperger's, early onset bipolar, PDDNOS, the diagnoses changed with doctors and time) went through that process - you're right, it's obsessive behavior and very hard to redirect. It may need some temporary meds to help break the cycle at night, but hopefully you can work out a way of redirecting in the daytime that will help ...?
These things are tough. Sorry it's going on.
