hello, so this is complicated but my daughter (13 and autistic) has reached puberty and started to develop some strange reactions to certain things. Mainly she will either touch herself in front of her younger brother (my son) or when my partner or son goes to use the toilet or shower she will follow and try to get in the room with them, she will try very hard and scream or cry when i try to stop her. is this normal?

This sounds like reactive behaviour due to sexual abuse.
