[QUOTE="ML, post: 182174"] It's possible that any type of cross dressing (if there was any) is a sensory thing. My difficult child who has the diagnosis adhd and anxiety (but I have no doubt is also on the spectrum) was dressing in my clothes from about the time he was 4 to 8. He told me he enjoyed the feel of the fabric on his skin. He doesn't do it anymore and gets mad if I even bring it up. It's not cool now. I made myself crazy for a time, checked out cross dresser websites and went worst case scenario which is something I'm working on not doing so much any more. Definitely the going into the neighbor's houses is the bigger issue. I know you will address those boundaries and consequences. He's probably just so embarassed and doesn't understand why he's doing these things. I would give him extra love and acceptance as you try to get him to express what's going on. I agree that you can't allow this to shake the foundation of your world. Sure, the issues are serious but you are dealing with it. Deep breaths and a bubble bath with a cup,of lavendar tea would be a good way to end the day. Hugs Michele [/QUOTE]
