Does anyone have any idea on how to stop an autistic child from stealing food? My daughter steals food (mostly sweets) it's not that I don't feed her or even allow her to have the items that she takes but she continues to take them without asking and hides to eat it. I've tried putting it where she shouldn't be able to get it but she finds a way. I dont by sweets often they are truly a treat but if I cant find away to stop the sneaking then we will become a treat free zone.
I have to put combo locks on the cabinets and lock up certain rooms like storage. It’s definitely an impulse issue. My daughter wants to stop but keeps relapsing. The worst part is that she lies about… read more

My 10 year old son with Aspergers is in a gifted class and tends to handle the extra work load OK. He makes friends easily but has a hard time keeping friends.

My son age 3 whom is on the spectrum , is getting in the mirror and pulling his pull up to look at his private area. He climbs in the bathroom sink when he can or tries to get in my daughters room because she has a mirror that stands to do this. Has anyone encountered this behavior and what can I do to help?
Glad to hear it!
My son wants his way and immediately, how can I discipline him in a way that he understands? He is now lying to get everything his way. He is 14 and now has a girlfriend that is also an aspie. Sex is a big issue here.
Wow! You've got a couple of big issues here. I think the first question would be - is he taking any medication? It sounds like hes highly impulsive and there are medications that can help with that
