  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!)
Quinton needs to learn about boundaries. Just as a small child is taught to ask permission before they do a task, Quinton must do the same. So by instructing Quinton to ask permission before he acts impulsively, he will have to stop and wait for a response. Even when he asks if he can touch someone inappropriately the seed of what is right and what is wrong is being addressed by him asking and receiving a response.
