[QUOTE="buddy, post: 503747, member: 12886"] Of course you know if there have been any situations when you look back (alone with someone, changes in behavior etc...) but yes, he likely just figured out it felt good and kids with autism have no boundaries. Kids that age without autism have poor boundaries that way. He may have asked the older one to do it even... if it felt good he may have had no inhibition about wanting someone to touch him.... they may have even thought it was funny. For sure supervise etc. use social stories with pictures (not explicit but mayer johnson pics do have "naked" pics to help teach.... to start to teach about privacy, only touch when alone or however you want to explain it. in my humble opinion it is important not to make them feel ashamed but to learn boundaries. You may need to explain to the 6 year old to come and tell you so you can help cue the younger one with autism on more appropriate behavior. It will be a process. Of course if you for even a second think there has been abuse (not every kid who figures out how to touch themselves or engages in normal exploratory play with a close in age sib...esp with no one forcing the other...has seen it to learn it, or has been exposed to someone hurting them etc... ) make sure you do what you can to investigate. If you can at least get a mattress for them to sleep separate it will be safer for now. [/QUOTE]
