Thanks Chantal for joining the conversation and sharing your "dead on" knowledge and your resources! This is not an easy topic for any of us, but the only way we'll get through it and help our kids is with support and information. Thanks for giving me both!

Donna, Thank you for so bravely sharing stuff that all of us moms go through, single or not!! We've all been there or are there with inappropriate behaviors !! I'm going to be frank (I'm known for it) I hope you don't mind - but I need to say that these inappropriate behaviors really need to be nipped in the bud for his safety. I know you are trying to avoid them, but taking a step further is necessary. There is the potential risk of abuse and also when he turns 18 if he so much as touches a person in public and the person feels threatened, he may be in trouble with the police. Happens, sadly, all too often. Easier to teach him not to do this when he is smaller than at age 18! You can teach him not to look or touch other people's bodies normally covered by a bathing suit (use a visual). Also you can teach hm the meaning of Public and Private and what that means using icons (see http://www.examiner.com/article/autism-and-adolescence-101-how-do-i-teach-my-teen-the-concept-of-private on Part 1 -"Boys without Boundaries" ASD & Puberty
I am a single mom raising a son with autism. 21 years ago, I read "Autism: a permanent developmental disability requiring lifelong care for which there is no known cause or cure". In that moment my world shifted. Today more than 3.5 million readers have shared in our journey through this blog as I have detailed our 21-year journey of grief, joy, disappointments, successes, lessons, strategies, personal challenges, frustrations, fears all as they unfolded- day by day.
