MANY THANKS KEILLY Hi Keilly I have a 13yr old too with ASD/ADHD too, We go throw tough times too, its not easy at all, really relieved you have found this forum, it has a wealth of information and advise. I have a book that I can recommend, called Lets talk about Sex, Growing up changing bodies sex and sexual health. By Robie H Harris. Pure brilliance book, very funny too and helps and guids the parent what to share and when to share the informationx http://www.bbc.co.uk/parenting/family_matt...sextokids.shtml I hope that things improve soonx JsMumxx Edited March 30, 2010 by JsMum Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
