can't control son's it use

My 15 year old son is on the spectrum and also has learning difficulties. He is verbal but largely non-compliant but is obsessed with having or using technology.

We have, as a family drawn up a family agreement which we have all signed confirming our agreement and laminated however, an instance has arisen whereby he has posted vlogs online and on youtube of his brothers and cousin rollerskating this weekend whilst we were all away together. this is not the first such instance.

we regularly check their devices but he is prone to deleting his search history and has accounts in differing names or profile pictures which aren't his. we are struggling to make him realise that he can't do this but are also desperate to keep the balance of control to keep him safe and treating him as a young adult.

any ideas or experience?

  • Is the problem that he is posting videos of others without consent? If so try explaining that you need peoples permission to share videos of them.

    Alot of people do vlogging and providing you have adequate privacy settings applied surely it is a communication method? 

    Maybe discuss viewing videos before he uploads them and encouraging him to understand others may not want their videos out there?
