'sexuality & Autism'


Autism-Asperger's & sexuality - Puberty and Beyond by Jerry and Mary Newport
Adolescent Issues Puberty, Hygiene and Sexuality | autismone.org

Featured Book - Autism/Aspergers and SexualityPuberty and Beyond



From Authors' Introduction
We are a married couple with autism/Asperger's Syndrome. That unique fact is the main reason Future Horizons asked us to write this book. The President explained that we could offer an entirely different view of the sexual world because of our experiences and place in life now. It is true that we have not only seen the abuse, rejection and confusion endured by those on the spectrum, we have lived it.

Gerhardt, Ed.D, will provide a brief overview of issues associated with sexuality education and the role behavior analysis can play in this complex and important area.
