I know that must sound nefarious...lol, but I'm just curious. Like... do autistic people, people with down syndrome, etc?

More so than most people, actually. You'd be suprised at the problems this can cause for "state school" type healthcare workers.

Yes they do just like other children. And it mostly occurs at almost the same time. Puberty. It's just a little more difficult setting boundaries of what is appropriate and what isn't. I know one teenage boy who would show his "feelings" by slapping girls he liked on the butt. It was funny, but we never laughed in front of him. It took some time to explain what was going on and to get him to stop. He's doing fine now and no longer slaps butts. It did cause some trouble at school, but not to much. He understood right away what he was doing and why it was wrong. It just took him some time.

Impulses are a part of the human body.Then saying that you know that if their hormones are working EVERYTHING works.The sad part is when you have a retarded child your never know what they really know about the impulses,how can they explain that to someone?Really you should not be curious about things that do not concern you personally----don't worry--- be happy.Good qyestion.
