Reminds me of when q was little and learned that meat was animal muscle so asked in school what human muscle tasted like. An aide got weirded out and talked to him about it. Well then it was something that got attention. Same thing happened when he gets too close or hugs without permission. Someone said if your privates touch a girl then she might get you in trouble. So, then saying he was going to do that was a huge way to get someone to talk to him. Neither of those issues stayed issues at all. He moves from thing to thing and right now its hitting walls. But given this is sticking for your son and he seems to talk beyond what he just heard about from others you're smart to pay attention. If he has autism a traditional mental health program may not even work. Q has some serious behaviors but he is serviced under brain injury and autism and even sexual issues would be worked on through the company we use that works with autism. Maybe ask for case management through whatever they call their department that works with autism. Even if he has a dual diagnosis the autism piece can't be ignored in my humble opinion. Just shouldn't be so hard to get services ....so sorry for you.

[QUOTE="buddy, post: 559490, member: 12886"] Reminds me of when q was little and learned that meat was animal muscle so asked in school what human muscle tasted like. An aide got weirded out and talked to him about it. Well then it was something that got attention. Same thing happened when he gets too close or hugs without permission. Someone said if your privates touch a girl then she might get you in trouble. So, then saying he was going to do that was a huge way to get someone to talk to him. Neither of those issues stayed issues at all. He moves from thing to thing and right now its hitting walls. But given this is sticking for your son and he seems to talk beyond what he just heard about from others you're smart to pay attention. If he has autism a traditional mental health program may not even work. Q has some serious behaviors but he is serviced under brain injury and autism and even sexual issues would be worked on through the company we use that works with autism. Maybe ask for case management through whatever they call their department that works with autism. Even if he has a dual diagnosis the autism piece can't be ignored in my humble opinion. Just shouldn't be so hard to get services ....so sorry for you. [/QUOTE]
