My Aspie son is a total rule follower. It wasn't that he didn't want to do the things for older kids, but it made him anxious thinking that he shouldn't. Some cartoons are marked Y7 and he wouldn't watch those when he was 5. It was actually nice since I didn't have to restrict him, he did it on his own.

Luckily, at almost 9 now, he will go to some acceptable PG13 movies. For a while he wouldn't even consider that! We can't miss Harry Potter!!!
