Aspergers and Sexual Activities

Aspergers teenagers have a difficult time understanding sexual feelings and appropriate actions regarding sexual activities.

How to deal with aspergers and his inappropriate sexual activities:
- Address the issue, rather than avoid it.
- Set up a time with your child to talk about sexuality, rather than making a few comments about it when the issue is hot
- Ask direct questions about what your child knows about sex. Ask about his desires and worries.
- Tell him what you think.

Set realistic but firm limits about inappropriate behavior after inquiring and talking about the normal behavior.

Seeing your level of comfort around the issue, your child will get the message that it is OK to have sexual feelings and it is OK to talk about them. Getting this message alone will bring the tension around sexuality a few notches down. If this approach fails, please do not be shy about asking for help (other parents with aspergers teenagers, school, professionals).
