  Case: Puberty
Quinton is a male student and in the eleventh grade. He has autism and has recently discovered his fondness of women, the body parts of women, and his own private parts. He has groped the physical education coach and has been touching himself in class. What kind of strategies could help Quinton?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Depending on the severity of his autism, he may not understand puberty. I worked in a self contained sever autism school and had an issue with a student touching himself. The director of the school who was his teacher said that he didn't know what he was doing but was touching himself because of the irritating feeling it was causing him. You have to remember that those affected by autism lack many social skills and social desires as those without autism. I would have a private meeting with him and explain the differences between male and females. At this time, he may be just realizing the differences and that is why he is wanting to explore them and not from sexual intentions. And his body response may just be a natural reaction. Regardless, it is not socially acceptable for him to do this so he needs to be taught that he cannot touch others in that manner or himself in that way. Consequences may also need to be put in place to discourage the behavior. With autism the thing to remember is that you cannot assume the student is committing undesirable behavior on purpose because autism often affects these decisions.

Comments: If I were in the same situation, I would react the same way. I think it is important to take the time to discuss with him the differences in males and females and maybe even incorporate sex education since he has become curious. I also think it is important to reassure him that it is inappropriate to do such things in school and maybe notify the parents so they can speak with him as well.
