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.

Abstract

Vous croyez tout savoir sur le sexe ? Vos amis, la porno, vos lectures vous ont tout appris ? De toute façon, faire l'amour c'est naturel !

Fine observatrice et grande communicatrice, Janette Bertrand sait aborder les questions que vous vous posez secrètement. Sociologue de la sexualité, Michel Dorais travaille à mieux comprendre la sexualité et les préjugés qui l'entourent. Elle a l'expérience, il a la science. Cet ouvrage est le fruit de leurs échanges animés et passionnants sur la sexualité à toutes les étapes de la vie, de la jeunesse à la vieillesse.

Afin de combattre l'ignorance et la désinformation sur les problèmes liés à la vie sexuelle, elle s'interroge comme elle seule sait le faire. Il répond avec nuance et discernement, par-delà les idées préconçues.

Un livre essentiel, indispensable pour tous ceux et celles qui veulent en apprendre davantage sur leur sexualité et sur celle des autres. Ce livre va vraiment vous étonner.
