My son did this too . He has overstimulation problems, SDI/SID; and it was

his way of controlling his envirnment [i.e.; getting out of it]

My son learned that in this society/environment, the one " bad " thing that

guarantees removal is exposing himself [pulling pants down]. has absolutely

nothing to do with anything, other than it gets him o-u-t of where he is.

he's told us as much. sometimes kids do what they have to do to cope.
