what do you think of asperger and sex education 

REPLY

what i know to be true is that every one is born with sexuality.it is not GIVEN to them.however.society often works hard to  exclude individuals who have special learning needs  from accessing their sexuality .what often happens id that because some one withAspergers may be believed to be vulurable or Asexual.thety become a target for sexual abuse .instead of all individuals regard less of learing and social heeds ,should be included in sexuality education .so that they can exslore their sexuality in a safe way..there are certainly specific educational stratergies that can be used.because people with Aspergers learn differently from many people who do not  have aspergers .,but there is no reason that they can not be included in sexuality education

what would you like to see change most in thye Aspergers world.

REPLY

i would like to see Aspergers valued as a lens through which some people see the world .seeing aspergers as a lens,and NOT a disability could help  all people to value each other

i have aspergers ,how would you give me sex education .books,photos,leaflets.video//dvd .exsplain in as much detail.

REPLY

firstly i would get to know you.i want to know what you know.how you learn .and what you are interested in.i do know that people with aspergers often best learn through repetion visual supports as such .i would look for materials that could be concrete and exsplore hands -on.such as videos ,photos.brochures and tomically correct models .i would work on  what ever you wanted too work on.what you want to learn.

being naked /nude is a big part nof aspergers .do you think that this is how people with aspergers understand  become aware of their own bodies 

REPLY.

i was not aware of this until you helped me understand .i do know that sometimes people who have difficulty with sensory processing will struggle with elements of clothing.,what i do know though is that it is socially appropriotte and legal to wear clothes in public  .there is a lot learning that needs to take place around privacy.where is it okay to be naked .cerainly all individuals have the right too exsplore their bodies .but that needs to be partnered with learing of where and when it is appropriate.
