My Son Won't Keep His Hands Out Of His Pants. Any Tips?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

Also, my 13-year-old grandson is home schooled and has no friends other than family and his puppy. Is there any kind of social activities he and others can attend? Are there any churches who may have Youth Meetings where kids can meet and greet, maybe dance and sing or play card and board games>
