How To Stop Habit Of Masturbation In A Growing Child?

My 15 year old son has Asperger's and does fairly well in most parts of his life BUT... he is constantly mastrabating. He is doing it privatly but it is constant. Lately he has started wearing 4-5 pair of tight underwear under his pants. How should we respond?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. Masturbation is a normal activity that almost all teenagers engage in. Your son is 15. There is hardly any relationship between Asperger and masturbation. The best way to approach would be, let your son know that you are aware of his masturbation. Warn him about the problems he may face in future if the masturbation exceeds more than one at this age.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
