The National Sex Education Standards: Core Content and Skills, K–12 (Second Edition) were developed by the

Future of Sex Education (FoSE) Initiative, a partnership between Advocates for Youth, Answer, and SIECUS: Sex

Ed for Social Change that seeks to create a national dialogue about the future of sex education and to promote the

institutionalization of quality sex education in public schools. To learn more, please visit www.futureofsexed.org.

This Third Edition of the Guidelines is based on the work of the original National Guidelines Task

Force; the basic structure and content remain the same. Certain topics, messages, and age-levels,

however, have been changed to reflect new information and the reality that today’s young people

are facing. In addition, we have added a section on using the Guidelines that provides specific

advice, ideas, and resources to help educators implement this important framework into their efforts

to provide high-quality sexuality education to young people in their schools and communities.

Key points

Autistic teenagers develop sexually just as other children do.
Autistic teenagers might need support to understand sexual feelings, sexual cues and sexual relationships.
A clear understanding of consent, good and bad touch, and masturbation helps to keep autistic teenagers safe.
Visual supports and social stories are good tools for explaining sexuality to autistic teenagers.

How do I teach sexuality to a person with ASD?

Sexuality for those on the spectrum can be a heated topic. We have a hard enough time talking about appropriate behaviour and boundaries around sex and sexuality even as adults, let alone to children who might have issues around general appropriate behaviour and boundaries to begin with.
