thank you for your reply caroline unfortunately my son will always go in head first and its not been a problem so much when he was a child but now as an adult it has more potential serious consequences for him and my family.. nothing happens slowly with him, as much as i know hes a vulnerable person my family is being exposed too. and i get tired and stressed pushing folks buttons, trying to stay ahead, and well im tired now, was disappointed when i first joined the forum, really thought i might get some insight into my sons autism. i have been in denial a year or so. but well i bang so night and thanks again
