[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 205610, member: 3419"] It's clear that Eris is not comfortable with-nudity. She may not ever be. Your husband has to understand that and work with-it. It's not about him. It's got to be about her, or anyone else in the household who is uncomfortable about it. Living with-other people means just that--living with-other people and respecting their space and boundaries. It seems like you two may have to just wander around in your bedroom with-the door locked until the kids are grown and out of the house. And if he wants to go to a camp, don't invite Eris! :) My kids were okay with-it until they got to be about 4, and then got very uptight, which is developmentally normal from what I've seen and read. easy child is 17 and only now is coming full circle, probably to prepare herself for the yrs of studio life drawing she will have to go through as a college art major. (She will not be posing; she will be drawing others.) difficult child did the slapping-himself-in-the-face thing a few yrs back but he outgrew it. At the time, I thought of it more as a boy thing than an Aspie thing. It really irritated me; I don't like physical violence and the loud sound that goes with-slapping, and I found that the more I protested, the more he did it so I'd simply ask him to leave the room or I would get up and leave. I think he was just experimenting. husband made a joke out of it--"Hey, that's MY job!" But I don't think it was a reaction to anything in particular, and he stopped doing it. Wish I could help more.
