What Causes Cross Dressing In A Person Suffering From Asperger S Syndrome?
I m 24, my brother s 16 and has Asperger s Syndrome. Recently he s become obsessed with wearing bikinis, and insists he has to wear them in public, he s even started buying his own. He got banned from swimming in school because he wore a bikini. He does not show any signs of crossdressing otherwise, and is a happy, lively boy getting good grades, enjoying life. What should our family do? My dad thinks he s gay [which I know my brother isn t] and my mum s stressed about it - so what do we do?

Thanks for using healthcare magic
In asperger syndrome, sometime, due to impulsivity, patient do all these thing. In that case, he needs certain medication like oxcarbamazepine or carbamazepine that would help to control such symptoms. You should consult a psychiatrist for his proper mental status evaluation. In case, you need further help, you can ask.
