Abstract
Je m?appelle Alex et je suis enfin bien dans ma peau! En fait, je viens de sortir d?une période difficile de ma vie. J?étais tellement mal, c?est fou. Je me sentais un peu comme si je ne voyais pas la lumière au bout du tunnel, tu connais cette expression? J?ai surmonté ce que les spécialistes appellent l?anxiété. C?est pour en parler et partager mes découvertes sur le sujet que j?ai créé ce blogue. (Et aussi parce que je suis d?une générosité sans fin!) Sérieusement, c?est surtout parce que je suis sûre que d?autres jeunes vivent ce genre d?expérience. Est-ce ton cas? La collection Perso propose des récits d?intervention destinés aux ados qui traversent des situations difficiles. « Alex » leur permettra de mieux comprendre ce qu?est l?anxiété, de se sentir moins seuls et, surtout, de trouver des trucs et des exercices pour surmonter leurs difficultés.

Abstract
Sexual health and sexuality can be difficult subjects for parents and caregivers to broach with autistic children, made more challenging when children are at the severe end of the autism spectrum. Some parents may even question the validity of teaching sexuality to those who are severely autistic. This handbook guides you through the process of teaching about sex and sexuality, offers to answer questions such as: Why is it necessary to teach this subject to my severely autistic child? When is the right time to start talking about these issues? How detailed and explicit should I be? What methods are most appropriate? It addresses male and female issues separately and covers public and private sexual behaviours, sexual abuse, cross-gender teaching and liaising with school, in addition to the more obvious areas such as physical changes and menstruation.
