This SpringerBrief provides readers with a comprehensive snapshot of contemporary research about autistics and their experiences and insights of sexual behaviours and interests. The authors use a scoping review approach to canvass the diverse literature on this topic. This approach shows many gaps in scholarly understanding about autistics and their experiences and insights of sexual interests and behaviours. Some of the gaps relate to sex education, gender dysphoria and gender reassignment surgery, pregnancy and childbirth, and domestic violence experiences of autistics. The book addresses these gaps and provides explanations and recommendations for further research.

Children and adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) require specialized teaching strategies when learning about puberty, sexuality and relationships. This professional resource offers practical teaching advice geared towards the needs of young people on the autism spectrum. Beginning with information on good practice, policy, teaching methods and recent research, the book then divides into key sex education topics that assist professionals in developing their own individualized and developmentally appropriate curricula. Covering issues of gender, public and private, puberty, hygiene, emotions, sex and more, each topic provides an overview of the difficulties that children with autism might experience, discussion and activity ideas and photocopiable resources including instructional stories, checklists and illustrations. The final section demonstrates how to respond to ongoing patterns of inappropriate behaviour and put together a behaviour plan. Aiming to explain and support the child's developing sexuality while also addressing crucial issues of safety, this book is a much-needed teaching manual for all professionals working with children and young adults with autism including educators in mainstream and special education, psychologists, therapists and social workers.

What are the motivations and desires behind relationship choices and sexual behaviour? Are they very different for those with Asperger Syndrome (AS) than for anyone else? Does having extreme sensitivity to physical touch or an above average need for solitude change one's expectation of relationships or sexual experience? Many people on the autism spectrum have limited knowledge of how to establish or conduct sexual relationships: drawing on extensive research with people on the autism spectrum, the book openly explores such questions. For the first time people with AS discuss their desires, needs and preferences in their own words. AS attitudes to issues such as gender, sexual identity and infidelity are included, as well as positive advice for developing relationships and exploring options and choices for sexual pleasure. This accessible book is an invaluable source of information and support for those with Asperger Syndrome and couples in which one or both partners has Asperger Syndrome, as well as counsellors and health and social care professionals.

The current state of society presents an alarming prospect for those with autism: - low quality of life when it comes to health - a high risk of becoming a victim of bullying, exploitation, and/or violence - an increased risk for physical and psychological illnesses - a significantly increased risk of dying early - increased risk of suicide And, particularly when it comes to sexuality and relationships: - a high risk of becoming a victim of physical or sexual abuse If we wish to help those with autism achieve successful and healthy relationships and sexuality, society needs to undergo a fundamental change. To succeed, we need a new socio-psychological/dynamic developmental view of autism that takes both society and culture into account. This book explores why this has not yet happened, and what exactly needs to change: the specific, concrete, practical approaches we can take to improving the lives of those with autism.

Sexual health and sexuality can be difficult subjects for parents and caregivers to broach with autistic children, made more challenging when children are at the severe end of the autism spectrum. Some parents may even question the validity of teaching sexuality to those who are severely autistic. This practical handbook guides you through the process of teaching about sex and sexuality, answering all of the most crucial questions, including: Why is it necessary to teach this subject to my severely autistic child? When is the right time to start talking about these issues? How detailed and explicit should I be? What methods are most appropriate? It addresses male and female issues separately and covers public and private sexual behaviours, sexual abuse, cross-gender teaching and liaising with school, in addition to the more obvious areas such as physical changes and menstruation. This will be the ideal guide to teaching about sexual issues for any parent, caregiver or health educator caring for a person on the severe end of the autism spectrum.

Based on Nick Dubin's own experience, and drawing on the extensive knowledge of Dr Tony Attwood and Dr Isabelle Hénault, this important book addresses the issues surrounding the autism spectrum, sexuality and the law. The complex world of sex and appropriate sexual behaviour can be extremely challenging for people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and, without guidance, many find themselves in vulnerable situations. This book examines how the ASD profile typically affects sexuality and how sexual development differs between the general population and those with ASD. It explains the legalities of sexual behaviour, how laws differ from country to country, and the possibility for adjustment of existing laws as they are applied to the ASD population. With advice on how to help people with autism spectrum disorder gain a better understanding of sexuality and a comprehensive list of resources, the book highlights the need for a more informed societal approach to the psychosexual development of people with ASD. A ground-breaking and honest account, this book will be an invaluable addition to the shelves of parents of children with ASD, mental health and legal professionals, teachers, carers and other professionals working with individuals on the spectrum.

Chapter one considers the literature on sexuality and long-term relationships in people with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The research has many methodological flaws, however it is clear that sexuality and long-term relationships are important to people with ASD. Their difficulties with social interactions may impact on the development of sexuality, and this can lead to inappropriate sexual behaviours and difficulty initiating relationships. It is suggested that further research would add to our understanding of sexuality and relationships for people with ASD. It is recommended that services should focus on supporting the development of appropriate sexual behaviours, and improving the social support networks of individuals in relationships. Chapter two explores the experiences of friendship in six adults with Asperger syndrome or high functioning autism (AS/HFA). Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis is used to identify themes from the interviews. The super-ordinate themes are: defining friendship, maintaining friendships, difference, increasing self-awareness and maturity, and future desires. The participants particularly highlight the importance of friendship. The results are discussed in relation to existing research, and limitations of the study are considered. It is suggested that interventions by statutory and voluntary organisations should focus on early diagnosis of AS/HFA and the facilitation of friendships for adults. Chapter three provides a reflective account of conducting qualitative research with people on the autism spectrum. Reasons for the limited use of qualitative research with this group are considered, and challenges to the research process are discussed. It is argued that people on the autism spectrum have valuable contributions to add to our understanding of friendship, due to their focus on detail. The idea that autism should be seen as a difference rather than a disability is briefly discussed with reference to the empirical paper.
