| description | There is a lack of research and program development in the area of sexuality education for those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The prevalence of ASD is on the rise, and research demonstrates that individuals with ASD desire romantic and sexual relationships. It is important that programming targeting sexuality education for individuals with ASD be developed and implemented to better support the unique learning needs associated with ASD. Sexuality education helps promote positive development of one’s sexual health, gender awareness, self-advocacy, and self-efficacy. Sexuality education also helps prevent undesirable or unsafe sexual experiences or behaviors and is an important component of every individual’s development, well-being, and quality of life. This paper outlines why further development and use of sexuality education materials specific to those with ASD is necessary and summarizes the current literature regarding sexuality education for this population. Lastly, recommendations are provided for the development and/or expansion of current curricula as well as methods of delivery with an exploration of emerging curricula efforts in the field. |
