Asperger's Syndrome and Sexuality: From Adolescence through Adulthood »

Playing the dating game is often tricky: all the more so for individuals with Asperger's Syndrome. How do AS adolescents and their families cope with sexual feelings and behaviour? How can a man with AS be helped not to overstep the mark in expressing his sexuality? How do people with AS deal with intimacy and communication in sexual relationships? In the first part of this unique guide, Isabelle Henault provides practical information and advice on issues ranging from puberty, sexual development and gender identity disorder to couples therapy and maintaining sexual boundaries. A comprehensive sex education programme for those with AS, comprising workshops and activities for the development of sociosexual skills, makes up the second part of the book. This is a much-needed resource for parents, teachers, counsellors and individuals with AS themselves.
