The unfortunate epidemic: sexual abuse in the autistic world

One of the most perverse problems in the life of the autistic person is the threat of sexual violence. This can come in the form of a rape or simply be in an abusive relationship. Because autistic people spend much of their lives, feeling different and left off, they often enjoy sexual experiences for a reason: it is then equal to other playground. It is very easy that it becomes a command of a relationship part. The most important thing to remember it is that autistic people have sexuality in much the same way as others do, does anything highly operation that they can be. Parents should teach their children about sexuality from an early age to prevent sexual abuse to occur.

The more valuable that anyone can learn in relation to sexuality is "no". This teaching to even children can be very useful. In this respect, treat your autistic child also no different from that that you would have another child - teach him parts of the body at a young age and be very clear, as the child ages, on what is happening in the course of puberty and what kinds of behaviors are appropriate or inappropriate. Make sure that your child can understand the differences between the keys good and bad touch. This can be extremely difficult for autistic children that are sensitive to the touch in General. It may be useful to the label "zones" on the body where no one should touch without permission.

Make sure you also as your autistic child, turns into an adult, he or she understands that the rape is and what to do if this happens. Like many autistic children is hands-on learners, it may be preferable to simulate potentially dangerous situations. If your child communicates non-verbally, teach him or her evident signs show a person to stop what they are doing. Often, persons with autism may not understand that others have their own thoughts and emotions - they believe that everybody thinks and feels what they do. As a result, many are shocked to learn that the "bad" people in the world to benefit from sexual situations. You may need to explain to an individual with autism, what are the types of dress and conduct appropriate in public while he or she is not without knowing sexual attention.

You child must learn to respect his body and understand that others need to so comply. This is possible if parents and educators teach autistic children on their bodies at a young age. By learning to stop sexual abuse, you can keep you autistic children or not, safe from predators.
