Katie Price is known for being outspoken and is never shy about voicing her opinions.

 

Today on Loose Women Katie voiced her thoughts on the possibility of hiring a prostitute for her disabled son Harvey when he turns 18.

 

Katie explained that Harvey is now going through puberty and she wonders how maturing sexually might affect him.

 

“Harvey is 15 now. Naturally, at 15 you go through puberty and it's natural to experiment with yourself... Is it fair for him to experience it?” she queried.

 

She continued: “Kieran joked ‘shall we get him a prostitute for his 18th birthday?’ and I was like ‘well that’s my little Harvey!’ ”

 

“He hasn’t got a clue about that side, but then do you bring it on? What do you do, do I leave it? Do I let him experience it?” the mum-of-five pondered.

 

 

Katie made the revelation during a discussion with author Kathy Lette who also revealed she too, considered hiring a sex worker for her son Julius, 26, who has autism but is high-functioning.

 

Kathy advised Katie: “I think you wait and see if he's angst-ridden about it and if it's an issue for him. And for Jules it really was.”

 

The show was briefly interrupted due to a technical glitch shortly after Katie’s comments but resumed soon afterwards.

 

Kathy’s adult son Julius then shared his thoughts on the subject saying: "It's something I've thought about. I think I would like some parts of it!"

 

Kathy had explained that due to being autistic, Julius finds it hard to read social situations, claiming he "often finds himself exiled into Social Siberia".

 

 

She said: "Autistic people have sexual needs too, and if the child expresses a desire and a curiosity, then you might look into having those needs met."

 

However, Harvey has complex special needs in comparison to Julius who is very high-functioning. Harvey suffers from Prader-Wili syndrome which causes him to overeat and have poor control over his impulses.

 

He also has septo-optic dysplasia, which is a rare congenital illness which affects the optic nerve and pituitary gland. Because of this, he is blind and is also on the autistic spectrum.

 

Earlier this year, Katie revealed Harvey was targeted by cruel trolls online who created mocking memes and altered photos of the youngster.

 

Katie launched a petition to make online bullying a criminal offence in order to protect young Harvey who has the been the butt of nasty jokes on many occasions.
