[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 164724, member: 1550"] My friend has a son with Aspergers. He inappropriately touched a girl he thought was "pretty." Now this is a very high functioning teen, but he STILL has Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). My friend was VERY lucky as the girl was quite understanding, and explained to this teen, in detail, why he had to ask before he touched anybody. It was far more of an ordeal for him to "get it" than your average "typical" kid. I would push for that Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified diagnosis. If a lot of professionals are seeing it, but won't say it, well, somebody needs to say it so that he can get help. If he is on the spectrum at all, he isn't going to learn appropriate behavior the way other kids do. Now, there could be more to it--he may have been molested himself and is copying what he was shown. I would personally take him to somebody who understands Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids. Even if he has Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified (undiagnosed or otherwise) you can all still get into serious trouble if this continues. And you may yet find out that this wasn't the first time he acted out (or tried to) on either your daughter or on another child. Please don't wait. [/QUOTE]
