... when his body started changing and wet dreams became a reality?

DS (11) has started having funny feelings in his body, and I think had a wet dream a couple of nights ago. Have some ideas of what to talk about specifically (we have spoken in general terms before but only as and when, he needs a fairly specific chat now) but am wondering is there any advice other mums can give me, or anything other boys would have liked to know when they were at this stage?

(If it makes any difference, ds has aspergers, however I tend to be able to phrase things so that he 'gets' it)

Gah. Ignore the typo in the title, should obviously be Help. Am not on my computer and that was the 3rd attempt at typing it, due to hitting the trackpad and changing the location of the cursor numerous times.

Have already ordered it :), did have a copy but it got lost in the recent move. But really need to talk a bit tonight, we have recently lost my mum and I get the feeling he has been worrying about the strange feelings but not wanting to say anything in case there was something wrong with him. I just figured it'd be helpful to know what others would have found helpful. I haven't really got many males I can turn to for advice, and ds has even fewer

Thank you for the suggestion :)
