There is increasing awareness of the sexual orientation of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and their interest in sexual orientation and intimate relationships. Core features of the condition render difficulties in attaining these. As such, individuals with ASD present with an increased risk of inappropriate sexual behaviors, unintentional sexual offending, and sexual victimization. Increased sexual and gender diversity among individuals with ASD has also been noted. Different theoretic perspectives have been proposed to explain this, which include the possible influence of prenatal testosterone, and inflexible interpretations of gender roles that increase feelings of gender variance.
What will you learn from this one-hour seminar?
- Sex differences in sexuality domains in individuals with ASD
- How ASD impacts an individual's expression and experience of sexuality
- Strategies and services that aim to provide individuals with ASD the skills required to develop a fulfilling gender and sexual identity, and healthy sexual life.
- Techniques to reduce risks of sexual victimization in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder
