This book, written by Sarah Attwood, is "A Forthright Guide to Puberty, Sex and Relationships for People with Asperger's Syndrome" as it states on the cover. We couldn't agree more!
Chapters include Your Body, Puberty, Caring for Your Body, Making Healthy Choices, Understanding Emotions, Friendships, Sex, Sexual Relationships, Looking After Your Sexual Health, Fertilization/Pregnancy/Birth, and Sexual Language. This book is not the anatomy and physiology text of old--it offers down-to-earth drawings that approach this subject in a disarming and approachable manner aimed at those on the Autism Spectrum. The author takes a very non-judgmental stance on potentially unknown or awkward subjects such as masturbation, problem eating, sexual slang, and menstruation. We recommend parents read through it page-by-page in order to be prepared for what their teen might ask. Our copy cost $22. Highly recommended by AutismLife staff!
