Do you have an autistic child and are wondering how to help them navigate their sexuality in a healthy way? Then you need to listen to today’s episode. Autism affects about 2% of the population, and we are beginning to have a clearer understanding of how to help autistic folks have meaningful relationships and sexual experiences if that’s what they desire.
