I haven't seen the episode, and I don't know, because I'm not an expert, but "acting out" would seem like a typical NT response to sexuality. As for getting the girl on birth control, well, in today's politically correct environment you could expect that for every teenage girl portrayed in the media, but I feel somewhat that forcing birth control pills on this girl implies that Aspies aren't capable of controlling themselves in even a most basic way. The case would be different for individuals with full-blown autism of course. But Aspies are high-functioning, are they not?
Yes - but high functioning with boundary issues is a dangerous thing.
