Autism/Aspergers and Puberty

[Cat]

Hi, not sure if the group originally mentioned in this thread is up and running

BUT

there is a facebook group for parents of children with autism/AS where issues like this are discussed, see link

 

http://www.facebook.com/#!/group.php?g...6623&ref=mf

 

I have tried to send out invites for the group - in fact it tells me that I have sent them out but I suspect that no on has received them? There is now a group on facebook - not mine but if people are interested I could post a link and try again with the invites. I have no idea why what is wrong with the group

Yahoo groups had a 'planned outage' yesterday - could that have been it?

Hi Cat, I've not received mine yet. Wondered if you were just too snowed under with life to find time to send them out?!

Hi,

 

This sounds like just the group I need at the moment. My son will be eleven in a few days time. He is a strapping boy and he has reached the early stages of puberty. The problem is that H is coming home with the most obscene language imaginable. I am by no means a prude. I know that 11 year olds talk about sex and I accept that perhaps most children will know some sexual swearwords before they reach secondary school, but H's language is graphically sexual. I have talked to H about his language. I have told him that he must not use sex words at home (he has an 8 year old brother), and I have even asked him if he knows what some of the words mean (he does!). How can I make him understand the boundaries? The school have already sent a mesaage to parents reminding them to supervise children on the internet (although I suspect the content comes from some of the other boys' older siblings).

 

 

Thanks,

I think that would be useful and worthwhile. when I traveled through puberty, Asperger's was not known about. I went to special school. It was a scary time. I was not diagnosed until I was 34. Good luck with your ambitions.
