[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 419937, member: 1550"] Hi there. Welcome to the board, but sorry you have to be here. First of all, if this is not your child, why does he live with you? Can his parents give you a break? Secondly, I think his therapist is nuts. Nothing you described in normal. I've raised five kids and none of them did anything like that child. I would be beside myself too. To me, it sounds a lot like he could be on the autistic spectrum. I would take him to a private neuropsychologist. in my opinion this therapist doesn't "get" it. Can you tell us more about this child, including his early development? A world on the strange behavior, such as masturbating in public. He could be "stimming." Stimming is common if a c hild is on the spectrum...it is part of sensory issues. Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids do not care about social norms. They need to be taught. I would definitely correct him if he does that in public. Finally, I actually think your feelings are normal. That is a lot to deal with. in my opinion I think you need more help than you are getting. Is he in special education? [/QUOTE]
