ok this is a touchy subject for some and I do not mean to offend but I need advise on this. I know all children 'discover' themselves at an earlier age, I have seen kids as young as 2 yrs old touch themselves and 3 and 4 yr olds masturbate. The thing is our boy is 6 and he goes at it several times a day I have taught him he has to go to his room if he feels the need to do that but I have also went to his room when other kids where visiting and found him on the floor doing this right in front of the other children. I have not been told if this is an issue at school but intend on talking to his teacher about it. I understand all kids do this, I have plenty of experience with kids, it just seems like it is excessive with Adam especially for his age. Until I taught him to go to his room, he would drop to the floor right were he was when the urge hit him. I dont want to teach him that it is 'bad', but I think he needs to maybe slow down on it, I dunno what I am asking, I am just asking to see if anyone else has dealt with this sort of thing with an Autistic child.
