Sons Sexual discovery....HELP!!

Hi there, the is my first time writing here and i'm hoping someone might be able to help advise me. My 14 year old son is Autistic, he doesn't speak and is still in nappies, but 2 days ago he suddenly wondered into the living room nake so i took him back to his room and put a new nappie on him, he did this 3 times but the 3rd one was dry so put it back on him and left the room, it seemed a little to quiet so went in to see if he was ok and to my shock the nappy was off and he was playing with himself, well i have spent the last 2 days fighting to keep his nappy on but today he kept it on but started pulling his "bits" out to the side of it and still playing with it, what should i do? i have had to warn friends and family to stay away out of worry for how it would make them feel if he did it infront of them. i am preying for a mirical i just want to cry as i was so not ready to deal with any of this yet.

  • Hello dear lady,

    Advice that comes free is usually worth less than you paid for it.  I do not know if my advice will be of help or even if it makes sense.

    You have warned people to stay away because they might find the sight of a naked 14 year old playing with himself disturbing or offensive.  It seems to me that they may have a worse problem, frankly, than he does.

    Poor child.

    Truthfully, then.  Let them come.  Let them be offended if they must be and let them choose to stay away.  Your son is more important to the world than their opinions or their delicacy.  Hold him close.  Try to use humour, if he will respond to humour, to persuade him that there are times when it is safe to be as he wishes to be and times when there are not.  Love this innocence.  The first evidence of sin was that Adam and Even knew they were naked and covered themselves.  He is too innocent even to need to.

    Poor you, too.  So much love, so much hard work.

    Know that you have one friend at least who will not judge whatever you do.  Try to be easy on yourself, and on him.

    Bless.
