my daughter will be 6 at xmas, she has autism and i am looking for some perspectives on a concern i have.
my daughter constantly fiddles with her private parts and it is very embarrasing not onlu that but from my point of view if she is in a public place i have concerns incase people look at her in the wrong way she is a big girl for her age.
last term the teacher wrote in her book that she plays with herself (which i think was very incorrectly put) this limits me to always putting trousers on her.
she doesnt even look like she knows how much she is doing it.
she would be moderate autistic,so not severe and has a lot of understanding of right and wrong.
i am not embarrased that she is doing it, but i feel she could end up vulnerable doing it and its awful that i have to think about abuse issues too.
