Autism & Sexuality 2019

Among all the research and discussion of issues related to Autism Spectrum Disorders, one subject is consistently overlooked: sexuality. And yet, despite our developmental delays, autistic people are still people—with the same hormones, same urges, and same physical development; and who face the same decisions that neurotypicals do. It might seem awkward or unpleasant to address sexual issues, but ignoring the subject is neither helpful nor possible. In this presentation, participants will learn both the critical importance of basic sexual education and a host of tips and topics across the lifespan.
