Intimate Relationships and Sexual Health: A Curriculum for Teaching to Adolescents/Adults with High-Functioning Autism Spectrum Disorders and Other Social Challenges

This comprehensive and well-researched curriculum fills a long-felt need in the autism community; a frank, up-to-date resource on sexuality tailored to the unique characteristics of high-functioning adolescents and adults on the spectrum. Based on years of experience teaching sexual health and extensive familiarity with individuals with autism spectrum disorders, the authors present "all you ever wanted to know but were afraid to ask/teach", taking into the consideration the learning styles inherent in autism. The curriculum comes complete with lessons, activities, handouts, resources, and more. The accompanying CD contains all the handouts for easy duplication and individualization. Foreword by Gary B. Mesibov, PhD.
