Hello everyone, I'm new to the group and looking for some advice and maybe your experience on this. I had a 12 year old son with aspergers and ADHD. He was diagnosed when he was 4/5. He has made great progress thru out the years and we are in a great school district.
Here is the problem we are having. He has almost no self control and is overly interested in sex. From a very young age he would do things like undress himself on the school bus, now that he's older he tries to look up pornography on any electronic device he can and will masturbate in the school bathroom or in his room at home. He will talk about sex and especially at school, he likes to get attention from his friends which is why we think he talks about it at school.
We don't suspect him of being abused by anyone, he has no access to electronics in our home that have internet on them. It's very concerning for us because we do not understand why he will not control himself and why he thinks it's a good idea to talk about it. He knows right from wrong. Which is why we feel he doesn't talk this way around us or at church or in front of teachers, but rather does it around his friends.
We are a religious family, we don't agree that masturbating or porn or premarital relations are ok. We talk openly with our whole family about protecting themselves from predators and how to keep ourselves chaste. So I feel like we are doing our part, but I'm lost.
Any advice or experience would be greatly appreciated, thank you
