[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 99548, member: 1550"] I forgot that kids on the autism spectrum also can be fascinated with fire. My son was. The big difference is, he did it out of fascination, not anger. He would stare at a lit match, for example and not try to set anything on fire. Fires set in anger and a fire fascination have different reasons. I would definitely see a therapist and maybe have a neuropsychologist exam. This kid could have been misdiagnosed. The REASON for the fire setting is relevant to what will help STOP it. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
