How Can I Help My Teenager with Autism or SPD To Learn About Sex, Masturbation, & Menstruation?
Read more about Interoception in our best-selling book. Available HERE from Amazon.
3) Here are my favorite books from my Amazon Affiliates:
This book is highly recommended for females from many of my clients/readers. It has awesome reviews on Amazon.
From the authors of the best-selling book for girls, this book is one of my readers’ favorites.
This book is a best-seller on Amazon and right now is the number one book for boys about puberty.
4) Utilize FREE resources from the web. Of course, searching about sex and/or puberty might bring about some inappropriate materials. I’ve given several helpful web resources here:
Your Changing Body, Answers for Boys with Autism
The Autism Community in Action: Teens with ASD: Puberty
Helping Your Child with Autism Through Puberty *FREE booklet download
Psychology Today: Puberty Changes
Sensory Processing Disorder and the Teen Years
….and now for one of my favorite resources…..this PDF fact sheet download about puberty and ASD
5) Use social stories and pictures to help teens to understand what puberty is and how their body may change. Topics might include periods, changes of the shape of the body, erections, wet dreams, and the changing voice. Be careful to avoid words that can be confusing. My son became very upset when I told him his voice might ‘crack.’ He thought it would actually break. I meant it might start high-pitched and then move to very low-pitch. Remember that our children/teens can be very literal.
I hope you’ve found this post helpful. I love hearing from you. Let me know if you have any more suggestions ~ especially books and other websites.
