What's CSA? And what helped your brother?

They sounded helpful and available when I got in touch with them for some personal advice, so perhaps they can help you with ideas if they aren't right.
Good luck, sorry you going through this |
I checked out their website and it all sounds amazing BUT
1. crazy prices
2. hashkafically really not the right place for my son, he would very much not fit in there.
If only there would be a chassidishe equivalent

I feel like many pple are just focusing on the behavior and missing the autism part. This is what autism is- a deficit in socially appropriate interactions. It's completely typical for teens with autism to act inappropriately when puberty kicks in. I would definitely not freak out and think of him as an offender or whatever. More like a kid with autism who needs instruction on socially acceptable ways of expressing s-xual needs.
Obviously other kids need protecting and the molestation history comes into play, but this kid is not as messed up as everyone is making him out to be. This is not unusual for autism.

I don't know of resources in Israel, but
Dr Ballen does know.
Contact Dr Ballen and he will help you find the right place for your son.
He himself is a licensed psychologist, but I don't think he treats these kinds of situation, not sure, but he will know to whom to direct you in Israel.
http://www.zevballen.com/emuna......html
He is a person with a lot of Anava and will tell you his humble opinion. What to do is this was his child. |
BTW, Dr. Ballen has a teen child with Autism.
I really think you should talk to him for some reference he is in Yerushalayim

Thanks everyone. I spoke to Amudim as well and they gave a name to speak to. He looks like the person I need, I hope he can help me with contacts in Israel. Anyone heard of him? Gavriel Fagin. Site: tikunim-counseling.com
