When Young People With Intellectual Disabilities and Autism Hit Puberty

Description

A Parents’ Q&A Guide to Health, Sexuality and Relationships

Puberty, personal hygiene and sex can be difficult topics for any parents to broach with their child. This practical guide provides parents with answers to the questions that often arise when children with intellectual disabilities or autism hit puberty. Structured around topics relating to puberty and emerging sexuality, such as physical changes, mood swings and sexual behaviour, the book presents case studies alongside practical guidance on how to deal with specific scenarios.
