Relationships, Sexual Health and Parenthood Resource for Young People with Autism Spectrum Disorder

This resource will help everyone involved in delivering sexual health and relationships education to those with an autism spectrum disorder by:

  • giving autism-specific advice aimed primarily, but not exclusively, at mainstream secondary school staff to encourage innovative, individualised and creative teaching
  • giving guidance on the different approaches that can be taken to support individuals with an autism spectrum disorder
  • suggesting activities which are designed so that they can and should be tailored to meet the needs of the young people involved using the practitioners’ professional judgements and knowledge of the young people
  • supporting education professionals to work in partnership with other professionals, parents and families to ensure the best possible outcomes for young people
  • sign-posting useful and reliable sources of information and further help, such as publications and key organisations.
