I am aware of all those things sky. I have some experience in the area myself.

If you deny that people with aspergers sometimes have trouble recognising boundaries then I guess that's fine. That's not what the discussion is about and really doesn't matter. I don't have the skills to diagnose something like that. All I could do was suggest that possibly that could have been it, which is what I did.

I'm not trying to lable this boy in any way. In fact, I'm suggesting he should be treated the same as anyone else while taking into account whatever his problem is.

If you have an axe to grind, start a thread about it.

Thanks for your input.

Would you disagree that naive and trusting people who are susceptible to bullying are perhaps more likely than your average person to accept a dare to perform socially inappropriate behaviour?

yes I disagree.

of course one has to consider IQ level, parenting and other diagnosis which would be more in line with this this type of display.

A fifteen year old knows better. A fifteen year old smart kid with no other diagnosis besides aspergers would not. Why? because his concrete thinking would tell him the only time he pulls his penis out of his pants is for taking a piss, doctors exams and sex.

I would say leave it up to your coworker, but you should definitely encourage her too.

I would not care if the kid had Asperger's or not, it is not important.
Again, find out if the school is going to see to it that he is going to be made UNABLE to do this to her again. AT ALL.
If not, call the cops.
It is VERY simple.
