Young Adults-Sexuality

Abstract

This guide is a sexuality and sex education resource written specifically for autistic people age 15 and up. Autistic people sometimes don't have the chance to learn about sexuality and sex in ways that work for them, so OAR created this guide as a starting point to change that.

In each of the nine sections of the guide, self-advocates will be able to read articles and watch brief videos before testing their knowledge about a given topic and practicing new skills.

Abstract

"Stephen Porges is the world's leading expert on relating the autonomic nervous system, a neural system that oversees largely unconscious functions such as heart rate and respiration, to social behavior. He is also the creator of the groundbreaking polyvagal theory, which has been adopted by clinicians around the world and has provided exciting new insights into the way our autonomic nervous system unconsciously mediates social engagement, trust, and intimacy.

"This book presents, for the first time, a compilation of Porges's decades of research on the behavioral neurobiology of emotions, affect regulation, interpersonal social behavior, and other psychological processes that describe basic human experiences. Part of the Norton Series on interpersonal Neurobiology, it has startling implications for the treatment of anxiety, depression, trauma, and autism." --From the dustcover
