Descrizione Autism - Sexuality - Relationships
The current state of society presents an alarming prospect for those with autism: - low quality of life when it comes to health - a high risk of becoming a victim of bullying, exploitation, and/or violence - an increased risk for physical and psychological illnesses - a significantly increased risk of dying early - increased risk of suicide And, particularly when it comes to sexuality and relationships: - a high risk of becoming a victim of physical or sexual abuse If we wish to help those with autism achieve successful and healthy relationships and sexuality, society needs to undergo a fundamental change. To succeed, we need a new socio-psychological/dynamic developmental view of autism that takes both society and culture into account. This book explores why this has not yet happened, and what exactly needs to change: the specific, concrete, practical approaches we can take to improving the lives of those with autism.
