I don’t think the behavior is related to
Ds, but may be a heredity issue or related to alcohol consumption. I have
witnessed similar behavior with G’s mother in

Subject: [DSANI] touching
Hello all
-
My 10 year old son w/ Ds is doing some personal "touching" if you
know what I mean. My concern is he doesn't seem to hide to do it and will do in
front of others. He hasn't taken it to "completion" that I know if
(again if you know what I mean). I had an email from his Special Needs teacher
that she is concerned about the bathrooms at school.
I am only letting him wear jeans at school - seems to make the touchy feely
harder to do than with sweats or athletic pants. We are using verbal prompts of
"no touching."
Any advice or other ideas? Things that worked for others?
Julie
