Ms. Adcock and Dr. Weeks will discuss the facts and issues regarding sexuality that face individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). The presenters will address issues such as sexual vulnerability, puberty, sexual urges, selfdetermination, prevention of sexual assaults, and what to do if abuse has occurred. Dr. Weeks will describe birth-control methods (including stopping/delaying menstruation, hormone options, sterilization, etc.). Ms. Adcock will discuss what and when to tell your child about sexuality issues. The information presented in this workshop will be useful for individuals with an ASD as well as individuals with other disabilities.
