This is alittle different.
I am the Guardian of my grandson. He's 25 yo. He currently lives in an APD home with several other clients. For years I've known he was gay. Sadly due to him wanting to be like his straight (aides) he always purchased "girlie magazines". Trying to get the B.A. (behavior analysts) to understand his real needs and reduce his frustration (which shows up as raging). I needed someone educated in that area get him what he really wants. Finally that was done 2 yrs ago after I spoke to head BA. His behaviors have improved.
Moving forward how do you suggest I make sure he's getting his needs met? They are only allowed to masturbate using visual stimulation. Staff does change. They are not allowed to have sexual encounters. "I offered to pay for an escort service" but he would be kicked out of the program. This is sad indeed. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
