Girls Aspies and Being Boy Crazy

[Guest guest]

Hi all!

I have two children, both with AS. A son who is 14 and a daughter who is 13.

The question I am posing right now is about my daughter. She is WAY beyond boy

crazy. Her therapist said that girls with AS tend to hyper focus on

relationships, which is defiantly true with my daughter. When my daughter

started the school year last year, she thought boys were just there to annoy

her. Then within three months (right after she turned 13) she went to the

complete extreme and was talking to boys about having sex. Ugh....I've spoken

to her many times about how our family rule is that there is to be no dating or

boyfriend until she is 16. However she constantly has a boyfriend. I do not

think that she is having a sexualy relationship with anyone. But, while she was

out visiting her father for the summer, she let a boy take a picture of her

topless. It's like she doesn't even get the connection of the consequences of

her actions. When asked why she did that, she said that the boy told her he

loved her. Then within a week, another boy told her he loved her and that he

wanted to have sex with her. Luckily her step-mother found out and shut-down

the situation.

I've had to closely monitor her computer time because she will get onto porn

sites. She's even mentioned to my son that she thinks she may be bi. I didn't

even know what that was until I was in my 30's...lol.

I am just so worried that she is going to get pregnant or raped or something.

I've spoken her over and over again about how boys will say and do anything to

get a girls clothes off. And that they really don't 'love' her. Has anyone

else had experiences with this?

Thanks!
