Experts recommend that parents be the primary source of sex education for adolescents with ASD, and that sex education be tailored to a child’s developmental level. Prior studies show that parents of youth with ASD are uncertain about how to best communicate about sex and which topics to discuss with their children. In the current study we administered an online survey to 190 parents of adolescents with ASD in order to better understand sexuality communication patterns between parents and adolescents with both low and high functioning ASD.

Family Sexuality Communication for Adolescent Girls on the Autism Spectrum / Laura G. HOLMES in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 49-6 (June 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 49-6 (June 2019) . - p.2403-2416 Titre : Family Sexuality Communication for Adolescent Girls on the Autism Spectrum Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Laura G. HOLMES, Auteur ; Donald S. STRASSBERG, Auteur ; Michael B. HIMLE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2403-2416 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Females  Gender  Puberty  Relationships  Sexuality and sexual health  Transition Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Families are critical for supporting healthy sexuality and relationship development for youth with autism. The objective of this study was to describe family sexuality communication for adolescent girls with autism. Participants were 141 parents of autistic daughters who completed an online survey about sexuality development. Most parents relied on discussion alone rather than visual supports or skills-based teaching techniques. Intellectual functioning, child age, race/ethnicity, and whether youth expressed sexual interest in others affected family sexuality communication. We discuss how most parents covered important basics, but many did not cover more nuanced relationship or sexual health topics during family sexuality communication. Few used enhanced instructional techniques (e.g., visual supports, social stories), suggesting potential utilization barriers such as a lack of affordable and available resources. There is a need for research accounting for diverse racial/ethnic backgrounds, sexual orientations including asexuality/demisexuality, and for transgender and gender diverse youth.

Family Sexuality Communication: Parent Report for Autistic Young Adults Versus a Comparison Group / Laura GRAHAM HOLMES in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 50-8 (August 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 50-8 (August 2020) . - p.3018-3031 Titre : Family Sexuality Communication: Parent Report for Autistic Young Adults Versus a Comparison Group Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Laura GRAHAM HOLMES, Auteur ; Donald S. STRASSBERG, Auteur ; Michael B. HIMLE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.3018-3031 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adults with autism  Autistic adults  Family sexuality communication  Parent–child sexuality communication  Sexual and reproductive health Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Families are a critical context for healthy sexuality development. This study characterized family sexuality communication for autistic adults (age 18-30) without intellectual disability (n = 117) versus a neurotypical comparison group (n = 319). Parent-reported number of sexuality topics covered did not significantly differ by gender or autism/comparison group. Parents of autistic adults who covered few or no topics (31%) reported higher religiosity, lower comfort and self-efficacy, and were less likely to say that the adult expressed attraction or desire for relationships. Parents of autistic adults were more likely than comparison parents to perceive their young person as being uninterested or not ready to learn about sexuality topics. These results suggest that families of autistic people require support to convey sexuality-related knowledge and values.

Parent Expectations and Preparatory Activities as Adolescents with ASD Transition to Adulthood / Laura G. HOLMES in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 48-9 (September 2018)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 48-9 (September 2018) . - p.2925-2937 Titre : Parent Expectations and Preparatory Activities as Adolescents with ASD Transition to Adulthood Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Laura G.

HIMLE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2925-2937 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adulthood  Gender  Parents  Transition  Vocation Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Community stakeholders, researchers, and providers are increasingly focused on individual, family, and systemic factors that contribute to positive outcomes for adults on the autism spectrum. Parent expectations for their youth's future are associated with adult outcomes (e.g., employment, school success, independence), yet the mechanism for this effect remains unclear. This study investigated how expectations were related to parent transition-related activities in a sample of 298 parents of adolescents on the autism spectrum (48% female adolescents), stratified by parent-reported IQ (average or above, borderline, or below 70). Parent expectations for the future predicted engagement in some activities intended to enhance adult outcomes when controlling for IQ, gender, age, and household income. The results have implications for how providers discuss expectations and support families in preparing for adulthood.

Parental romantic expectations and parent–child sexuality communication in autism spectrum disorders / Laura G. HOLMES in Autism, 20-6 (August 2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 20-6 (August 2016) . - p.687-699 Titre : Parental romantic expectations and parent–child sexuality communication in autism spectrum disorders Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Laura G.

STRASSBERG, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.687-699 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : adolescence  parent–child sexuality communication  puberty  quality of life  relationships  sexual development  sexual health  sexuality  sexuality education Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study examined the relationship between core symptoms of autism spectrum disorder, parental romantic expectations, and parental provision of sexuality and relationship education in an online sample of 190 parents of youth 12–18 years of age with a parent-reported diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder. Regression analyses were conducted separately for youth with autism spectrum disorder + parent-reported average or above IQ and youth with autism spectrum disorder + parent-reported below average IQ. For youth with autism spectrum disorder + parent-reported average or above IQ, autism spectrum disorder severity predicted parental romantic expectations, but not parental provision of sexuality and relationship education. For youth with autism spectrum disorder + parent-reported below average IQ, parental romantic expectations mediated the relationship between autism spectrum disorder severity and parent provision of sexuality and relationship education. This supports the importance of carefully considering intellectual functioning in autism spectrum disorder sexuality research and suggests that acknowledging and addressing parent expectations may be important for parent-focused sexuality and relationship education interventions.
