Self-assessed sexuality in young adults with High-Functioning Autism / Prianka MEHZABIN in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 5-1 (January-March 2011)
[article]
Titre : Self-assessed sexuality in young adults with High-Functioning Autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Prianka MEHZABIN, Auteur ; Mark A. STOKES, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.614-621 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : High-Functioning-Autism Sexuality Adolescence Social-function Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The literature has revealed that autistic persons of all ages show an interest in sexuality and relationships, but the poor social and communication skills found among those with autism hinders the experience of this. Unfortunately, most research to date in this domain has relied exclusively upon parental or caregiver reports. Thus there remains a need for research to be undertaken in this area based on direct reports from autistic individuals. We hypothesised that compared to Typically Developing (TD) persons, persons with High-Functioning Autism (HFA) would reveal lesser levels of sexual experience, lower levels of sexual and social behaviour, and less understanding of privacy on various subscales of the Sexualised Behaviour Scale. The results of this present study supported the hypothesis on all scales except Privacy and Sexualised Behaviour. Overall, compared to TD individuals, HFA individuals engaged in fewer social behaviours, had less sex education and fewer sexual experiences, had more pronounced concerns for the future, and showed similar levels of privacy knowledge and public sexualised behaviour. These findings suggest a need for specialised sex education programs for autistic populations; further, since social behaviour was significantly lower for autistic individuals and future concerns were higher, this suggests that sex education programs need to incorporate education about social rules to enhance social communication and understanding.
