Key social and emotional milestones during adolescence are often
directly related to the abilities to initiate and maintain intimate
relationships, maintain physically maturing bodies, and manage
personal sexuality. Most adolescents with developmental
disabilities have particular difficulty expressing sexuality in
satisfying ways, consequently facing issues such as limited
intimate relationships, low self-esteem, increased social
isolation, deregulated emotional maintenance, reduced sexual
functioning, and limited sexual health. Appropriate sexual
knowledge assists not only in achieving personal fulfillment, but
protection from mistreatment, abuse, unplanned pregnancies, or
sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). It also works to help solve
problems of loneliness and problems with self-esteem. This book
will address this but also much more. Issues of physical and
cognitive development will be discussed, including appropriate
sexual development/urges and brain development, and innate
similarities and differences of sexuality that could occur between
people with autism spectrum disorders and intellectual or
developmental disabilities, including the complexities of physical
disabilities. The authors will also consider special considerations
for group homes and recreational facilities, and specifically focus
on concepts of ethics and models of consent (medical, legal,
social, and educational), as well as how to deal with uncertainty.
