Introduction Adolescence is one of the most important developmental stages, with significant changes occurring in the social, physical and emotional aspects of a person’s life. • Individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) mature physically and sexually according to normal developmental stages; however a young person with an ASD can develop normally in some areas of social and emotional understanding and have difficulties in others. • Families and schools are often concerned about the growing sexual behaviour in young people with ASD because it is generally not accompanied by a corresponding growth in the field of social know-how which often leads to socially embarrassing behaviour. • People often falsely believe that people with ASD are sexually immature or do not experience sexual attraction (Konstantareas & Lunsky, 1997), are unaware of their sexuality and are uninterested in intimacy (Sullivan & Caterino, 2008).
