[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 615049, member: 3419"] We had this issue with-my son taking from the neighbor's house. They called the police. That took care of that. Except that he thinks very literally, and since he knew he couldn't take from a stranger's house, he started taking from [I]our [/I]house. Ruined his relationship with-his sister. :( I offered to buy him new ones from the mall and he insisted he didn't want them. We found a list in his room 2 yrs later with-names written on it, luckily only 3 names, so that narrowed it down. He wanted the underwear from specific people. I was relieved it was an inanimate object and he was too shy and scared to create a relationship. Or force one. :( We went through a lot at the therapist's office, and I'm glad that we were able to talk about this when he was young. Aspies can collect strange things, and are not always the best at relationships. But I don't know your son's diagnosis. And he is much older. I feel for you. [/QUOTE]
