Decreasing Vulnerability through Sexuality Education for Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders (Center on Transition Innovation, VCU)

Description:

Everyone deserves to experience intimate relationships if they would like to. However, parents and educators need to teach individuals with autisms the skills to keep themselves and others safe. These skills can help to reduce the likelihood of behaviors that can lead to negative consequences including social isolation, misinterpretation of social cues, and victimization. We must consider the need for age- and developmentally-appropriate instruction and support to address these skills.
