[QUOTE="buddy, post: 470491, member: 12886"] Just adding my hello and glad you are here! As you have heard here 11 IS a normal age for this stuff. Kids are developing younger. Yes, the internet stuff is upsetting but in my opinion, not sick. The Aspie (plus whatever else, anxiety or obsessive compulsive or addiction) stuff makes him not see that it is socially inappropriate at this point. I would for sure put the brakes on the internet porn stuff because it is not appropriate for a child, and help him to develop an appropriate healthy view about sex. Talk to the therapist once you have that set up with someone you can trust. If it was me, I'd be careful to separate his using the internet for grown up things separate from his sexuality as was mentioned earlier because shame can really affect his healthy development. Kids with Aspergers often need to be directly taught the specific rules in life because they just dont pick up those subtle things. Now that it is a habit of his, changing the routine may be really hard. It may be that there are other issues, or it may be that he is just an Aspie who gets really locked into his "special interest". You will feel better when you talk to him and to a therapist you can trust I hope. I think any of us who is willing to research and ask peers is a good parent so give youself a pat on the back for looking for good answers. Let us know how it goes. You are not alone. [/QUOTE]
