Teaching Boundaries to Aspergers Children

I am the dubiously proud mother of a 7-year-old girl with Aspergers. As with many "Aspies" she likes a certain sense of order in her surroundings, and will rearrange other people's belongings to accommodate her own preferences. We have spoken to her time and time again about not touching other people's things... all to no avail. Now her teacher reports she is taking things from others. This has been happening in our home rather regularly, and we have tried everything we can think of to stop or prevent the behavior, but it seems to be getting worse not better. Any help you can give me would be MUCH appreciated!

I am not alone! My son is 13 years old and touches everything. He always has since he was young and I don't know how to help him. I was always told he would grow out of it but I fear what the future holds for him. I am interested to hear anyone's responses.
