[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 406863, member: 1991"] I agree with you, I don't see any autism or Asperger's either. He sounds too willing to tell complex lies as a routine. Also, Aspies and autistics DO feel emotion very keenly, they just don't always express it in ways we recognise. Defying authority - you do get something that resembles that in autism and Asperger's, but if you dig in a bit, there is always a reason that makes sense to the child, and at some level the child is always consistent. Your boy sounds more chaotic. The porn - I'm not so sure that isn;t typical teen. Even starting to access it at 11 - it's a peer thing, sadly. I used to have an after-hours class at the local school, we met in the 11 year old's classroom. The age range of the kids in my group was about 8 to 11, and the 10-11 year olds used to use the computers in my group. Until I caught them showing each other the latest porn clips they'd downloaded. Because I was not a teacher, they showed me too. Proudly. I did say I didn't think it was appropriate, and also commented that the school was alleged to have protective software to block the porn. The kids scoffed and said, "That stuff! We can beat it easily!" Clearly they could. The stuff they were downloading onto the classroom computer (and why didn't the teacher know or check? I was horrified) was mostly immature stuff, but it was a mix. Certainly it would have been used by pedophiles trying to recruit. It was a mix of immature poo and wee stuff, migled with animated graphic sex and some very rough stuff indeed. I hauled the kids off the computers for the day (since they weren't doing what I had set them to do anyway) and engaged them in something different. Then next day - I reported the major breach in school security. difficult child 3's best friend is 12 years old. He has high-functioning autism. He friended me on FB and I am horrified at some of the film clips he puts up on his page. Again - a lot of poo and wee stuff, but the shock value of the sex is a major attraction for him. One clip he posted, saying, "Watch this and not laugh - I dare you!" was a looped clip of a Star Wars storm trooper standing there making pelvic thrust movements, for several minutes. As in - several minutes of a three second loop. NOT funny. But certainly, sadly, typical of boys on the cusp of puberty. I didn't bother telling his mother. She probably finds the clip funny. We have less and less in common these days, sadly. Marg [/QUOTE]
