-What are the experiences of sexuality and relationships that are unique to all individuals with Aspergers and ASD?
-How have these experiences worked to shape and develop your sense of self, sexual orientation, and gender identity?
Researchers at Deakin University are looking to learn more about the experiences, concerns and positive factors that males, females, and non-binary genders on the spectrum face as they approach young adulthood, and pursue the romantic and sexual life that best meets their wants and needs. It is hoped that with greater understanding, findings can work to inform parents, partners, and supporters of ASD of the many factors that are important to those with ASD, while enhancing sexuality support services and programs tailored to specifically address the issues and concerns that are expressed by this unique group.
