Like your son I too have had a diaper fetish since I was about 5 years old.
I can't think of what may have caused it only that when I was growing up in the mid 60's it was a matter of pride for a mother to have their kids out of diapers before age 2. I seemed to remember not liking the idea of going to bed without my diapers and plastic pants (disposable diapers were not yet popular). I remember feeling different without them. When I was 5 years old I stumbled on a box marked "baby clothes" hidden in our basement. I looked inside and saw about 3 dozen cloth diapers and every size and style of plastic pants, baby bottles and even a couple of pacifiers. I remember my penis got stiff looking at the plastic pants. Of course I didn't know what sex was at that age but I definitely had an erection. I took 4 diapers and a pair of plastic pants and hid them in the back of my closet.
When everyone went to bed for the night I would quietly stuff the diapers down my underpants and pull the plastic pants over them. It made me tremble because of the adrenalin rush I got from doing something taboo. It was a this time I discovered masturbation. For whatever reason I started masturbating in the prone position with my hands in between my legs and bear down aganst my mattress. After a lot of heavy breathing and sweating I would achieve what I can only describe as an orgasm. I would get this pleasurable feeling that started in my prostate and spread through my body causing me to get sleepy. As I grew older i felt like a freak or wierdo for liking diapers and thought I was the only one in the world who had these desires. Because it was the 70's way before the internet i had no one to talk to about this. I just kept thinking about diapers and fantasizing over them. It wasn't until I was 13 years old when I accidentally found out my best friend also had a diaper fetish. This had to be a one in a million chance to meet someone else your own age with the same fetish and be able to talk about it and share our fetish with each other.
Through the years (before the internet) I had met two other boys and one girl who shared the same fetish. It wasn't until the advent of the internet that I discovered there were alot of us who shared the same desires.
Point is your son should feel very lucky to have a parent like yourself who isn't judgemental.
I don't think your son needs help, just guidance.
So strong is this fetish you will not be able to stop it. When he reaches puberty it will no doubt turn sexual if he indeed has a diaper fetish. It may ebven progress to the point he may begin wetting or messing in diapers. As long as this is something he does in private I would again say not to worry. If he enjoys you treating him like a baby in the meantime you may as well enjoy your baby for a few more years while you still can.
